Overall, I have been satisfied with Xfinity, and it is not true (as some claim) that you can save substantial money by switching to streaming. Every time I do the math, the savings are minimal, and I would lose channels and/or other services. I am particularly happy with their cell phone service, which uses the Verizon network and is way cheaper than other services using that network. Also, I would never do business with Xfinity on the phone, always in person.
I also had Xfinity and was happy with their service. I canceled about a year ago without any problems but maybe I need to wait another three years before I can be confident about that.

Why I canceled: Xfinity had a small increase to their rates and decided to start charging me to autopay with a credit card. Technically, they ended the autopay discount for credit cards but using that as a reason/explanation/excuse for why the bill increased just made me more inclined to reevaluate my internet service. Had they not messed with the bill I would not have looked around and I would probably still be happy with Xfinity today.

If you don't watch all 250+ channels (whatever it is) then you can probably save money by streaming. "Probably" because everyone's wants are different and you may want a collection of channels that are only available by subscribing to multiple, expensive services. I pay about $185/month for internet access and all my streaming services. $82 of that is live TV and the NFL package so if I gave up those I would be paying $100/month.
