Request: Confirm my customer-owned modem is released from my old account

Hi Xfinity Support,

I have a customer-owned Motorola MB8600 modem that I previously used on my Xfinity Internet account. I’m planning to give this modem to a family member so they can activate it on their own Xfinity Internet plan.

Can you please confirm that this modem is fully removed/released from my account so it won’t show as “already registered” when they try to activate it? If it’s still associated with my account in any way, please remove it. Happy to pass the CM MAC along to support in a DM.  

Thank you.
