Overall, Comcast now has 22.3 million video customers, 23.3 million Internet customers, and 11.5 million phone customers. The phone business added 139,000 subscribers in the quarter and 282,000 during the full year. Many of the additions came from existing customers adding a service.3 Feb 2016
And if you cost those figures ( lets be Generous and say 11million customers allow Comcast to sip power)
is that small change over a year ????
you don't think Microsoft will use a common Port that is open do you on a Nat
It seems to have been set to off by default in my case.

isnt this the option? if so it can be disabled from within windows ,after installation.personally i uncheck ALL boxes when intalling Win, but this somehow got turned back on, maybe in the recent FCU
notice the 2nd option has "internet" added , i dont want ANYONE DL'ing updates from My PC/PC's or network.
this function/option has "vulnerability" written all over it IMO...i cant say how, but if there was a way for a hacker to exploit a system/systems, this seems like it would eb a likely starting point.

Nah numerous reasons I haven't switched, besides why fix what is not broken?
@Papayooie I wonder if there is a Administrator regedit or gpedit tweak to turn this option off indefinitely.
Like I said, if your machine is behind a NAT firewall(and it should be) then no one will be downloading anything from you or using any of your bandwidth.

I'm curious as to how you got that information. Because the setting in the GUI clearly has an option to allow users over the internet to download from you. A NAT will do nothing to stop it if your own machine reaches out and makes itself available.

Any home router with Upnp is gonna let it right through.

It is the way the handshake works. It was discussed in several network security articles back when the feature first came to light back when Windows 10 came out(yes, this feature has been in Win10 from the beginning).
First, it communicates on the standard WSUS ports. It basically works very similarly to how torrents work. Microsoft has several "trackers" that track computers that have the option enabled to share updates. When the option to share over the internet is enabled, your computer announces to the trackers that it is enabled. The problem comes when a computer actually tries to connect to your computer to download the updates. Because the ports aren't forwarded on the router, the outside computers can't initiate the download.
It is exactly the same way torrents work. You can set a torrent to see, but no one will actually connect to you and download anything from you, because they can't connect to you because of the NAT translation. NAT translation is why we have to forward ports.
I mean, this isn't a new thing, it has been in Windows 10 since the beginning. There have been lots of articles about it, and lots of people far knowledgeable than you or I researching how it works.
Yes, it could use the IGD Protocol to add a port mapping, but last I heard it doesn't do that.
Well, i tried to connect to my own "WiFree" hotspot and i was given same [public] IP address as my other machines. So basically anyone can connect to your router, do some funny things on the internet and then best of luck for you on trying to prove it wasn't you. Another problem - torrents.Comcast still does it in the US. It really isn't a big deal, it doesn't affect the customer in any way.

If you do disable uPNP ,it will cause issues with consoles like Xbox and PlayStation(Atleast it used ti) It won't do it immediately but it will eventually. If you have those, fwiw

With comcast you get a different public IP. Plus, in the US, you can't be sued or blamed for anything based just on your IP. The legal precedent has been set that an IP does not equal an identity because of the reasons you stated.
