I had been a Verizon customer for many years and switched to Xfinity Mobil about a year and a half ago. Xfinity uses the Verizon cell tower network so I get the same signal, in the same locations, as before. My new cellular service is much cheaper than it was with Verizon, and it includes unlimited data, which Verizon didn’t. The only potential drawback of Xfinity is that Verizon customers get priority when the cell tower traffic is in very high demand. An example of that might be if you were in a big city attending an NFL football game (pre-Covid) and tens of thousands of people were all attempting to access the same tower with their phones at the same time. Since I don’t like big cities and tend to avoid crowds, this has never effected me. And now when I do not have WIFI access, with unlimited data I can turn my phone into a personal hotspot and use my IPad through my cell service.
