I really enjoy the price to speed ratio of my ISP. I pay $14/month for 50 MBPS download and 5 MBPS upload. I really enjoy the options Xfinity gives me when it comes to internet customization.

I like xfinity overall due to its accessibility, the price is very accessible yet sometimes the connection or speed is not the best especially when using multiple devices in the household. But I mean you can't really beat the price. I am overall very happy with my provider, customer service is always great and issues are usually fixed quickly.

I like that my provider reimburses me when there is an interruption in service. I also like that they text me when there is work going on in my area and it may disrupt my service.
