As I'd thought about streaming, I asked what the internet rate is and it's $99 plus a rental box fee. (whatever that means)...so it wasn't much more to keep my current plan with their one year contract. We'll see how it all rolls.
You are being "managed".
Xfinity "Basic " internet is $25 @ Mo "funding source required; and "paperless account management"".
That gets you 60 Meg bandwidth, and 1.2Terra Byte ceiling.
Go to their physical store, INSIST on "Basic Internet only"..and "downgrade" to Basic internet.
Have had this for over a year and is totally adequate for multiple streaming feeds.
We have 4 computers, 12 Ip cameras, 2 Tablos, 2 cellphones and multiple Tvs using the connection fulltime.
Absolutley no bandwidth problems.
