XFINITY Fiber
April 02, 2026 My internet is provided by my apartment complex so I am not able to choose my internet provider. Even though I am unable to choose, I would still choose Xfinity as I have Xfinity mobile which connects me to any Xfinity wifi in the area which makes my phone bill so much cheaper because I do not have to pay for data. The speeds are incredible and I have never worried about security/ privacy with Xfinity.

Shentel Fiber
May 09, 2025 I know this will blow you away - My service provided wants to save me money, yet increase my speed on downloads. They actually did this when I called for another issue. I will not go anywhere else for internet. Shentel is the best!

XFINITY Cable
March 20, 2025 Our internet provider to me is overall the best. They have great internet service and great customer service. They mean a lot to me and my family because we can do anything we want from gaming to streaming our favorite movies and shows. They overall will be my top choice no matter what. They never fail to help if we need troubleshooting or anything. They are the best and I would always recommend them to family and friends!!! Thank you Xfinity

XFINITY Cable
March 15, 2025 Xfinity is very off-hand. Thankfully, we haven't had much issues because we live in an apartment complex. My parents who live in a house have had MULTIPLE issues and no less than twice a year, have to have a technician come out and fix it. Thankfully, we just plug and unplug our device and re-start the internet and it usually works out for us. Fingers crossed we don't have to deal with anything like my parents have.

September 21, 2024 Shentel's service is good most of the time, but the service can become slow for a period of several days.
