Xfinity's internet speeds are great! There are rarely any outages. Xfinity has a variety of internet plans to fit every budget. I like that I can use my Wi-Fi away from home as well.

Setup is easy and installers are knowledgeable and professional.

XFINITY Fiber

4 of 5 stars May 30, 2025

Their pricing falls in line with competition which is just promotional offers to new customers for the first year. We got a pretty standard speed of 300mbps for 55 dollars and its very reliable for the many devices we have connected. The promotion also came with a free phone line but i have yet top investigate it. In the 7 months that I've had the service I've never had a problem or an outage so i couldn't comment on the customer service but not having any problems is has been great.
