November 23, 2024 Xfinity has been nothing short of a pleasure to do business with. The employees in the store were extremely helpful and polite. Their instructions for installing and setting up the router were very simple and straightforward. Furthermore, the Xfinity app is well written and easy to use, offering several useful features such as being able to see how many devices are actively connected. Online payments are very simple as well. Overall, I would easily recommend Xfinity to anyone looking for a fast, reliable internet service provider

XFINITY Cable
November 09, 2024 Very reliable service. It's always fast and can keep up with all of my devices. Sometimes it times out and I don't have Internet but within a couple minutes it works again. I do wish it was priced slightly less and it is the only internet provider in the area. Since ther is no competition for any other internet company there's really no competition for the pricing. Overall though I am very happy with this internet.
