I had Spectrum before and they didn't charge to hook-up. Xfinity will send you the box, etc. and you can also do it yourself. I needed to have all the cables checked in the house to make sure they were all working and also needed to install another location on another wall. They charged $100 to do all of the above including burying the new cable that was run around the house. Robert was the name of the Service Tech I had and he was great. Personally, I like Xfinity better than Spectrum basically because of the "apps" it has plus I can connect to Amazon Prime without the Firestix which I needed with Spectrum.

What I didn't like was my service went down the first day and rebooting on-line didn't work. Took me a while to find a phone number and actually get someone on the phone. It took them sometime to get my connections back up and working. That was in April and I haven't had any issues since.
