XFINITY Cable

5 of 5 stars October 18, 2024

Xfinity was very easy to set up and works with ease. They have an easy to use app that allows customers to set it up on their own and can create their account on the app. Every time a new person signs into our internet, we get a notification and we can choose to keep the device on or remove it, which allows us to avoid any malicious devices. We are also kept up to date about outages and if there will be any breaks in our service due to maintenance. We pay $90 per month for the highest speed internet.

XFINITY Fiber

3 of 5 stars April 05, 2024

Xfinity is okay but we are looking for another internet provider mainly because the price is too high and they raise it without telling us. We are not happy with their customer service and recently had an issue where we had to call 3 times in 3 weeks and each time we were told something different and they never followed up. That being said, we are happy with them as far as there are not too many interuptions in service and the speed is decent.

There's no reason for them to be charging what they charge for what they call basic Internet service. It should be half of what they charge. And on the flipside, after I said no to offers of TV and telephone service, they need to stop hounding me about it. They hound me for years about TV service and cellular phone service after I have told him numerous times I am not interested

I have been with my provider for over 12 years. They recently did a price reduction for NEW customers only, not a promo a regular monthly charge. I called them and asked why I could not have this same price as it was $25 a month less than i was paying. After going thru several people and finally having to threaten to change providers they gave me the new price. It doesnt seem it should be that way, but all of them are. The speed still isnt what its advertised to be, but its faster than it was so i will give them that. Overall, service itself is not bad but CUSTOMER service really is bad.

I'm not fond of Xfinity. They lock you into long contracts. They aren't very user friendly. Plus, their speed is only OK at best.
