We use Xfinity internet and get 800mbs speeds and we don't have their fastest option. It is reliable and stable. Their cable service is also good but expensive. We will try YouTube TV, which we use in our summer home when we get back. You should also be able to get Spectrum internet/cable service but I can't comment on price or quality. I do know that there is fiber optic cables to the house but I don't know who, if anyone, connects to these fiber cables.

Don’t go with CenturyLink! They raise your bill monthly. I spent more time on the phone with them than I can tell you. Terrible!

I had FIOS with Verizon when I lived in NJ. It was by far the best service I’ve had. I wish they were here.

A lot of people make two mistakes when dealing with Xfinity. First of all, they don't know when their contract expires. So, the monthly rate increases and they get mad at Xfinity because they don't realize that it is because they no longer have a contract. And, second, they try to establish a new contract by talking to Xfinity on the phone with someone who is trying to make a huge commission on an upsale. Don't do that. Know when your contract expires, and make a personal appointment with the Xfinity store several weeks in advance of the contract expiration date, so you can meet in person and discuss all of the available discount plans with a live person, face to face.

CenturyLink does not raise my monthly bill. I have a "one price for life deal". The price is fixed unless I change the level of service. I do, however, only have internet access with them. I agree that talking on the phone, on the rare occasions when I needed to, was a bit painful. However, their internet service has been reliable and they do deliver the bandwidth they promised.

Most of the newer homes have Quantum Fiber all ready at the house. You will see a loop somewhere on the side of your house where the cable comes in. It was owned by Century Link and spun off to Quantum Fiber. $65/month for bi-directional 1Gb internet.

I am not sure if many of you realize the fastest and greatest internet speed you may have is only as good as the device you are using . Think of this way you pay for a gigabit internet plan but your fastest device whether it be a computer , smart phone , gaming box or streaming device is only able to go as fast 100mbps due to the hardware limitations in the device, so your paying for a extra 900mbps which you'll never use unless you upgrade to a device capable of reaching that speed

Just login to your online account and go to this link: Xfinity xFi or get the app on your cellphone. This is from my PC.

Wow you are getting close to the 1229 GB monthly limit. I see why you would want unlimited service.
One problem users have is that they don't shut down the streaming apps when they are done watching. That means that the app keep streaming all day whether you are watching or not. We make sure we "EXIT" every app (keep going "Back") when we're done viewing. Thanks for the info. Skip |
