XFINITY Cable
May 21, 2026 I think Comcast/Xfinity is a really solid service. Price is kind of alright, the speed of upload and download is fair. There is an issue where the modem will turn off randomly, mainly seems to happen at night. Rare outage here and there, as expected.

April 02, 2025 My internet provider overall meets my current needs. I have occasionally considered switching due to the current cost compared to the available speeds.

March 25, 2023 It's fine, though we have a one-bedroom and it's super slow in the farther room. But it seems like since our place is so small it should work well in all the rooms?

February 08, 2023 I've had Xfinity internet ever since I moved into this apartment, around six and a half years ago. I pay for 100mbps and I get around 30-40. Which isn't bad, but it's not what I pay for.
Whenever I call customer service, it's a hassle just to speak to a real human - the computer tries to give me the runaround, and in order to get the issue resolved, I just want to talk to a real person.
A past roommate of mine had the internet in his name. He moved out and went back to Virginia. I tried to get the internet changed back to my name, but I was told that my past roommate (who was several states away; I live in Chicago) and I had to physically go into an Xfinity store in order to change it.
This is impossible, and it's not going to happen. The last few years, I've just acted like I was him when it came to official stuff, and I'm dreading when I move out and having to finally turn the internet off.
