XFINITY Fiber
May 26, 2026 I had a lot of problems with Xfinity when I first started with them. Thankfully we were both willing to work on my account. I'm not a fan of the pricing system, as I think it's more expensive than it should be and there isn't a good low-income program for it. However they have increased the speed steadily over the years and I really appreciate how fast our connection is, especially considering just how many devices we use in our house and that I work from home. All in all, they're the best one in my area and I don't mind it as much as I used to.

August 06, 2025 Xfinity is a quality provider of internet. I'd prefer it to be a little cheaper but the product always works the way I need it to. I've only experienced 2 outages in over 7 years at my house. The only downside of Xfinity is that they have no competition in my area to drive down prices.

September 29, 2023 This internet company is one of the few available in my area. I preferred Armstrong which I had prior to relocating. The internet speed is pretty good especially since we tend to do a lot of streaming and gaming in my household.

XFINITY Cable
May 04, 2023 The service has been good overall with rarely an outage. However I am paying over 100.00 a month for just Internet. I feel that's really exorbitant. Granted I have a faster speed at 400 Mbps but it is really overpriced and there is no competition in my area.
