XFINITY Cable
June 11, 2023 Genuinely good. There are outages at points, but we live in a storm-heavy area, so it's to be expected. Pricing could be better. We were looking towards using T-Mobile's internet service, but there's too much tech in our house and it doesn't seem to have enough thoroughput, so we have Xfinity, which again, isn't the worst.
A Panama City, FL Customer
XFINITY Cable
April 27, 2023 It doesn't really matter which Internet service we have. It is well known that in the United States we are 10 to 20 years behind the rest of the world when it comes to internet service and speed as well as other technology. I have friends that I speak to in rural China they get five times the internet speed that I have. It's pretty sad that I have to pay 50 bucks for what amounts to fourth world internet and what is supposed to be the greatest country on Earth. Internet should be 5 to $10 a month and we should have the fastest speeds on the planet but Americans really don't have any perspective and they are sold the false bill of goods.
Randy S.
XFINITY Cable
March 30, 2023 Our Xfinity internet service is overpriced and the service is fair at best. Speeds are around one quarter of what's claimed (26 vs 100) and we have frequent lags causing pixelation or lockups during streaming. Twice in the past four years they have had to replace the modem. Each time they swapped it out with what the techs informed us were refurbished older models. They supposedly upgraded their network after hurricane damage four years ago but we have not experienced a noticeable improvement in service.
Jon
Mediacom Cable
January 01, 2023 It is a 400/40 connection, so the speed is pretty good for cable. The reliability can be somewhat sketchy at times, but it has improved some over the years. I pay $100 a month for it, which is more than I would prefer to pay obviously. I would take a lower tier of service, but I can't really because of Mediacom's data caps and the amount of our household's usage.
