I dropped xfinity and went to tmobile, just as you are considering doing.
When I returned my equipment to xfinity I told them I was leaving because they were charging me $82. for 75 Mbps. I asked how long I had to be gone to come back as a new customer. He replied, “three days.”
I got everything hooked up to tmobile. The signal was rated VERY GOOD. As others have reported, lots of buffering and dropped service . I liked their fixed price of $50, amd definitely would have stayed with them if they could have provided steady service. After a month I bought an Arris modem/router and signed back up with Xfinity. As a new customer , $30.
I returned the TMOBILE equipment. It was a lot of horsing around, but I'm glad I did it. I’m saving $50 a month.
So go into it knowing you might end up back with xfinity.
I checked with neighbors. Tom is paying $35, Mary $65 and xfinity just raised Larry to $111….internet only. Larry is now on ATT.
Xfinity is ridiculous….they really treat existing customers badly.
