Preston S
XFINITY Cable
February 13, 2026 I am only looking for internet; no television package at all. However, the lowest-price option is $100/month. I only use internet for browsing and streaming videos, so I think I'm paying for bandwidth I don't use. I would LOVE a lower-cost option, but the local fiber service (Ting) has an intro rate of $90/month. I may move residences in the next year, and will lock in the cheapest option available. Comcast works fine, but they don't have the bare-bones option I want.

August 19, 2024 I believe Starry Internet is the best in terms of price point and value. I am able to stream multiple devices without any issue or disruption of service. Whenever there is a problem with my internet the app lets me know if there is a known outage or not. The issue will then be escalated if need be.
