XFINITY Cable
September 11, 2025 I am actually very happy with Xfinity compared to previous internet companies and the other options currently available. Xfinity has very good prices for the area I live in and better speeds than my previous internet company. They also currently have a deal going on for a slightly higher fixed rate that will guarantee that your internet costs will not go up for 5 years. This is the deal I am currently very happy to take advantage of. This also includes a waived fee for the router rental so I can save up to get my own after the five years. The customer service has been good so far, and I only needed to call them once regarding an interruption in service (that had to do with the building not them). Personally if I had to I would like to stay with this company for a long time as long as their service stays consistent.
