Looks like the new houses seem to only have Xfinity so I will likely have to go with that but how are the speeds as it is my understanding with Cable internet you share with other customers so you are never really getting the Highest speed advertised.
Also if and when other services become available it is worth changing?
Thanks in Advance  |
Both spectrum and Xfinity have lousy service. They charge you to go to the box and it’s about $100. If you use the software that calculates the speed you will find all wifi companies here lie about the speeds. In 2 years my cable wifi for one TV went from 127 to 225. The wifi and cable broke down 10 times in 24 months. They also do not prorate your bill. If your service period runs one day over in the month you pay for the extra 29-30 days - no exceptions. The villages prewires for Xfinity however a technician needs to go to the box to convert to spectrum. I’ve had both companies up north however the worst experience in my life is in Florida! Wait until you try to use your cell phone here! If you use Verizon there are 4 companies piggybacking on their hardware and it’s just awful. I’m moving and relieved I don’t have to deal with either ever again. They’re so lazy here you can’t hand in your equipment you have to go to a designated UPS store. Buy as much of your own equipment as possible. The hardware here is also older than God.
