If you go with this option, make sure Ahead of Time that you review the TV channels they provide to make sure it has all the channels you have to have. I haven't looked at the Now line-up but typically they advertise a huge number of channels but they may not be the most popular ones.
The Xfinity page reads like there are TWO packages: Xfinity NOW for internet connectivity at $30/month plus NOW TV for 125+ streaming channels at an additional $20/month.

$50/month for 100Mbps international, 125+ channels, and Peacock is not a bad deal but the very similar naming will likely confuse people.

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