XFINITY Cable
December 05, 2025 Xfinity is a reliable internet connection. However they are horrible overpriced for the service they provide. Customer service is a joke. You wait for 29 minutes every time you call. They are always upselling. We’re waiting for our contract to end before we finally jump ship for a new ISP.
