Xfinity internet\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Because of its wide availability, competitive pricing, and fast speeds, <\/span>Xfinity internet<\/b><\/a> is suitable for the majority of people. Furthermore, its massive, dependable network provides Wi-Fi hotspots across the United States, making it ideal for getting Wi-Fi while on the go. And, if you’re willing to pay a little more for a no-contract plan, you won’t be locked into a yearly contract. However, Xfinity does not provide unlimited internet, and overage fees can quickly add up. Furthermore, Xfinity’s upload speeds are laughably slow, making it unsuitable for sharing videos and other large files. Finally, Xfinity equipment is pricey\u2014but if you bring your own cable modem to save money, you’ll miss out on all of the cool X1 gateway features.<\/span><\/p>\n

Xfinity internet plans and packages are available in your area.<\/b><\/p>\n

If you’re the only one at home, the Performance Starter Plus plan is adequate, but most people require more. If you work from home or watch TV online, you’ll want faster connections. For most people, the Performance Select plan is the best place to start, and Xfinity offers a few incrementally faster speeds if 100 Mbps isn’t enough to keep up with your family’s simultaneous streaming and you need top Xfinity internet speeds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Xfinity no-contract plans are available in your area.<\/b><\/p>\n

While the majority of the Xfinity plans you’ll see advertised come with a one- to two-year term agreement, Xfinity is fine with providing contract-free internet\u2014for a fee. You\u2019ll have to pay about $15 to $20 more for the no-contract perk in Xfinity’s Western region (where you’re looking).That’s a bummer, considering Xfinity’s early termination fee is $10 per month remaining on the contract. In other words, Xfinity customers in the Central and Northeast lose more money in a no-contract plan that lasts more than six months than they would pay in early termination fees on a year-long plan. And no-contract customers in the West will suffer significant financial losses if they keep a no-contract plan for more than four months. Again, unless you intend to use Xfinity for a very short period of time, avoid no-contract plans. If you break your term agreement just one to five months early, you’ll pay less in early termination fees than if you’d gone with the no-contract option.<\/span><\/p>\n
