That is available from every mobile phone provider.

For that matter if you are cheap you can just use your phone as a hotspot.

So what is the xfinity? If people hate them why chose them for a 5G hotspot? Just curious.

Personally I like xfinity. If fiber is not available I find their support and service to be good. The only drawbacks that I have seen is that the cost is very high and cancelling is difficult.
Xfinity NOW is a cable-based service.

Not sure all mobile providers have 5G home internet offerings.

Your mobile hotspot is often limited in speed or data. It will certainly work in a pinch but you probably will not get 900GB of high-speed data.

The number one issue with Xfinity is the price, number two is service, and number three is the difficulty in canceling. Xfinity NOW is a $30 service that is easily canceled.
