My Xfinity price-for-life just increased...Now I have to wonder whos "life" they were talking about The life of the CEO's hamster?

I guess I will go with the 500mbs Quantum for $50. It is far more bandwidth than I will ever need. At least it comes with WiFi 7 main and one pod at no extra charge. $50 is more than I want to spend but Xfinity NOW is "now" off the table. I am looking forward to single digit latency and jitter even though I doubt I will notice it.
The 500mbs and 1Gbs speeds come with the 5500 model with 1gbe ports. In some areas in the Villages Quantum offers 2Gbs, 3Gbs, and 8Gbs and for those customers they use the Q1000K model with the 10Gbs ports.

Which Village are you located?
