October 19, 2024 Overall I am satisfied with my internet service. We have very few connection issues, and have multiple devices connected at the same time. The payment process is always very easy, and very user friendly! I have had the same plan, and equipment for over 3 years now and have never had to call customer service for anything. Also I would like to point out in the 3 years I’ve had service with Xfinity there have only been one or two instances of a service outage in my area. When it had occurred the company was very diligent in reporting the outage to us, and keeping us updated on the progress and when service would be restored. I am very pleased with Xfinity, and recommend my friends and family to use them when they are in need of internet service!
