XFINITY Cable
February 03, 2023 Xfinity internet has served my purposes well, I am a single person household for the most part (occasional family stays with me) and I have never had any issues with speed or service. I expect fast internet and no interruptions or buffering when watching/streaming netflix etc. So far, Xfinity has been a great provider for this. Paying for just internet and then additional streaming services has been the best deal for my circumstances financially.
