Do I need a different modem for a different internet package?

I am looking to upgrade my internet package to the 1 Gig, and was wondering if I can still use my own modem or do I have to get a Comcast one? The info that explains the package sounds like I have to get a Comcast one?

Hi there @user_91854f Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in our awesome 1 Gig Internet service! I personally have 1 Gig at home, and it's been a great fit for my family's needs. We'd be happy to take a look at your account to see if there are any available promotions and verify that your current modem is compatible
