We got tired of Xfinity games and dropped all services. Life is better. Their Robo caller harassed us for months. Get receipts when you turn in equipment an document the termination. We did and there were still “misunderstandings”.
We put in an antenna and get internet thru Verizon at $55/mo. We can watch utube tv if we wish. |

Each firestick can be programmed separately for captions on or off. If you are paying $90 for xfinity, you probably have 500-600Mb speeds which is way too much money, even if you have 1000Mb, it’s too much. I pay $40 for 1200Mb spectrum.

How did you get a package like that and where can I sign up for it?

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. |

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

I've had Xfinity for many years, using the Firestick. Recently I was getting a lot of buffering. I have an app on my phone called "WiFi Analyzer". I saw what channel my WiFi was using and it showed that a better channel would do better. I went into the Router settings and changed each of the two WiFi (2.4 and 5) settings to the suggestions and my TV experience is better. It's not "rocket surgery".

Also, at some point fiber systems are also shared. Yes, that point may be farther from your house and the shared bandwidth might be a larger number but it is still shared. It would be interesting to see the provisioned rates versus the experienced rates for both cable and fiber in a typical suburban area.
