We made this change due to the constant price increases from xfinity. Returned the equipment Tuesday and yesterday received a phone call from xfinity offering a coupon deal to reduce the price.

Typically the coupon lasts a few months and they will hope that the coupon expires and people go back to paying the higher price. After a few minutes told the guy your ship has sailed away and is not coming back.
What hardware are you using (smartTV, firestick, Roku, etc)?

I've had a firestick for many years. I plan to try the Roku the next time I need to replace or upgrade a firestick. I was very unimpressed with the performance of smartTV interfaces but that was at least six years ago and I would hope technology has improved.
