Xfinity??
Senior Cable??

Any thoughts anyone??
Unfortunately, one of the very few things we don’t like about living north of 466 is the lack of competition when it comes to high speed internet providers. When the underground infrastructure was built in that area the future importance of internet wasn’t yet fully recognized and addressed. For real high speed internet in that area it’s basically Comcast (Xfinity) or bust, unless you can live with DSL. We have 400 mbps Xfinity service for the introduction rate of about $50 per month, including the modem/router, but have to play the renegotiation game every time the contract term ends. For a household of only two, who are not heavy data users, we find that speed to be totally adequate. We can stream Netflix, Prime, and YouTube TV without buffering and all of our on line needs work fast and flawlessly. I just wish Comcast would reward customer loyalty and not play the bait and switch game that forces us through the renegotiation exercise every time our contract term expires. Hope that helps.
