XFINITY Cable
January 11, 2023 Xfinity gets a bed rep sometimes, and there are good reasons for that. However, as a "new" customer, I have been happy with their promotional pricing. I have an unlimited data plan, and it has been perfect for my needs of streaming on multiple devices and playing a few games online. I know in the past I have struggled with getting a good deal on a renewal, and we'll see what happens when the time comes. But for now, I would give Xfinity 4/5, but only with their new user promotional pricing.
