XFINITY Fiber
June 16, 2026 I’ve been really happy with my Comcast Xfinity internet service. The pricing is competitive, and getting everything set up was quick and straightforward. The router was already installed when I moved into my apartment. The Xfinity app makes managing my account and network incredibly easy. I’ve also been impressed with the reliable speeds and the helpful customer support whenever I’ve had a question. Overall, it’s been a great experience.

XFINITY Cable
May 24, 2026 With the high price of internet continuing to climb, it is nice to see a company not continually jack up their prices. One issue I have with the Xfinity company is that you need to go to a store to drop off equipment that is not working properly. When you do pick up that equipment you need to go on a Youtube video to see how to install it properly. Gone is the days of a service person coming up to your home with the equipment and installing it, unless you want to pay an extra fee. I feel bad for the elderly who struggle with understanding the internet let alone know how to install equipment and on a budget.

March 17, 2026 I chose Xfinity for my services because my condo association offered 1 free cable box through them. However, the entire subscription has been a nightmare. I got scammed into a phone payment for a cell phone I did not need. The Xfinity employee told me that I could bundle my wifi and cable for a great deal if i accepted a free phone line. He said I did not have to activate the phone and I could even sell it or gift it to someone and I would not be charged. Well that was a lie, I am stuck in a contract paying for a phone I do not even use. I never activated it but Xfinity activated it for me. In fact I never took the phone out of the box nor turned it on. I went to a physical store to explain to the Xfinity customer service department and they said there is nothing they can do to help me. Besides the fact that they are total scammers, their customer service is incredibly atrocious. You will get connected 10 different times if you even try to call all for them to hang up on you or drop the call.
