I had what started to be a bad experience in Xfinity the other day but the Manager ended up doing a great job and even followed up after the billing problem was straightened out. Wowie. Thought I was on customer service with Amex of Apple.
The last thing they are finding for me is the ENGLISH speaking customer service phone number. There is one and it's a secret. I would stand on my head and spit chicklets to help the OP not pay 3 Beans a month. Gimme a break. What are they? Jessie James without the mask? |

No, my initial rate was around $200. It increased $48 last year when original term expired. This last $50 increase was a surprise to me.

T-mobile is fine
I use T-Mobile senior plan for $50/month (all fees and taxes included). I'm quite happy with it.

As for the 5G internet offerings ... beware.
They sound great and probably work well ***---IF---*** you are near a 5G tower. I tried the T-Mobile version and found it VERRRRRRY slow. The closest tower to me is still 4G and that's the one their box connected to. At the time the nearest 5G tower was much farther away than the 4G tower I can see looking out a window. Use a tower finder to check before you buy.

Pretty sure YouTube tv still has a 7 day free trial. On a smart tv download the app and follow instructions for startup. No smart tv get a roku or fire stick . If you like it cancel the crap out of everything but internet from Xfinity. Sounds like (for the OP ) the landline is just there for the bundle plan which may have expired

It means he used that address to get a "new subscriber" quote.

We use Verizon for cell phones, and have been very satisfied with them for a long time. But...i'm not sold on their local version of 5G right now. I have noticed VERY slow data rates when my phone switches over to 5G as opposed to the "old" 4G. For example: When playing Mallory Hill last week, I noticed my phone receiving a 5G signal. Launching my Bushnell Golf app took until we were on 2 tee until the course maps were downloaded. Previously, using 4G, that process took less than 10 seconds. For that reason alone, I would be reluctant to have my home internet based on 5G cell service.

I was a Dish Regional Manager. When I saw the high rates for every service here, I began streaming. Now, I have HBO, HBO Max, Showtime, EPIX, Prime Video, Cinemax, Disney, and hundreds of live regular channels with all the sports I want for less than $150 a month. I use Charter for Internet Get rid of cable and the dish....CUT THE CORD! STREAM!!!!

Best idea for sure. The guy even told us to come in every two years and threaten to cancel…they’ll fix it.

I tried the Verizon home internet. The service was awful. First, it is not 5G in the Villages, it is 4G. Second, the connection was interrupted so often, i.e. 5 times per hour, I took it back the next day. Third, when I returned the modem, I was charged a "restock fee" of $30.
