#8 - Telephone Number Porting is Complete and Newly Purchased Cable Modem has Arrived

Our permanent home phone number (since 1979) has now been ported from Comcast Voice to Ooma. The caller ID for outgoing calls didn't work properly at first, but this was quickly resolved via a chat session with Ooma tech support.

Also, our new third-party cable modem arrived today. A new wifi router is due to arrive tomorrow. My goal is to remove all Comcast hardware from our house so we are not paying any rental fees. I bought the cable modem and router separately so it will be  easy (at least hypothetically) to switch to a different internet service provider should we decide to break completely with Comcast.
