When you start streaming a tv show/movie, do you want it to start right away or do you want to go start dinner while it’s buffering?
I always get the fastest internet speeds with no capped data, faster upload speeds, and no latencies. I get 1200Mb for $39 a month. Xfinity wasn’t as good as spectrum, too many issues, support wasn’t very educated, and they added on router charges on top of internet service.
T-Mobile 5G - no caps
Xfinity internet - 1TB cap (never reached it)
Xfinity NOW - advertises no caps

50Mbps - rare instances of buffering appear related to streaming software - resetting device resolves the issue
3000Mbps - rare instances of buffering appear related to streaming software - resetting device resolves the issue

T-Mobile 5G - no router charges
Xfinity NOW - appears to advertise no gateway/modem/router/wifi charges

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
