XFINITY Cable
February 02, 2023 Comcast has met our needs, but that is about the extent of praise I can give it. We had to upgrade to business class due to frequent outages, which was not acceptable for my fully-remote job. The speed is great when the internet is actually working. We just wish that we could have gotten consistent service without having to upgrade to business class.

October 11, 2026 I pay for the medium service and I expect faster speeds but I'm getting a whole lot of latency when I try to watch FB or Youtube videos. And it's consistent. Might be time for a change.
