XFINITY Cable
May 03, 2026 We have had Xfinity for over 20 years since we moved to our home and I've always been happy with it. During the pandemic, when we had 3 adults working from home and 2 students, we still had great download speed and conectivity. Xfinity seems to consistently upgrade their system and equipment, and we able to adust our service depending on our internet needs.

November 10, 2025 I use the Verizon Home Internet. We have been using it for over 2 years with 5 regular users and have never experienced an outage unless the power was out at our home. Speeds are more than 5 time what I had with my last provider and I pay half the price.
