Historically speaking:
I can't show you where doing things the natural way got it completely right either.
Even letting nature do its thing doesn't guarantee a perfect outcome. We're simply trying to give nature a little bit
of help where we can.

Exactly.
A real person created without genetic manipulation still has to LIVE WITH and SUFFER FROM any potential changes you COULD have made, but didn't due to some silliness about what is or is not ethical. I would be even more pissed off knowing I had a disease that could have been eradicated before I was even born but wasn't because of scientific ethical bickering.
Ask anyone who has some sort of hereditary disease or issue and I'm pretty sure I know which side of the argument they will fall into.
Hmmm
Unless networking between local systems, 802.11g is more than adequate for the Wan link speed they're likely getting from AT&T DSL.
Since you said you were replacing their router and it's your parents ( if your parents are like mine ), I would wager they're not running
NAS backups locally, or doing much else between local systems requiring lots of bandwidth. So I'm not sure I would see a need for
them to run N or even AC class WI-FI. ( Mine most certainly didn't. )
What's the top speed offerings on Uverse . . . . 45Mb/sec best case ? ( I have cable and not in AT&T territory so I have no idea )
This was exactly my thoughts:
( assuming they're not doing exactly the same thing )
What will your connection speeds be on the Xfinity Hotspots ? Are they fixed, or are they faster / slower than what the location hosting it is paying for ?
Eg: If a household is paying for a 60 / 10 connection, does the included Hotspot run at that speed or no ? If it does, it might be worth paying for a low end package just to get the subscription, then connect to your neighbors Hotspot to have access to a faster speed.
They won't do so because of the CC fees that are involved on a per transaction basis.
IF you're going to be dumb enough to sign up for such a silly service, at least make sure you're using an alternate account with a minimum amount of funds in it so when it does get compromised, it isn't an epic event. Disable overdraft protection, unlink it from your primary accounts.
Overall, it's a bad idea anyway. It's Facebook lol.
