    Default Xfinity Internet Has New Broadband Packages

    Hey, just figured I'd give fellow Xfinity customers a heads-up. I got an email a couple of days ago that new packages were available. I was paying $78/mo. for 75mbps. I was able to upgrade to 200mbps for $60/mo. They updated my service in less than 5 minutes of updating my plan online and I'm getting 247mbps download speed.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    Thanks for posting this. Upgrading our decrepit internet service is on my list of "things to do" over the winter. I'll check into it.

    I just looked into this. Even though I wasn't getting any of their hardware after a $13.65 "broadcast fee" It made the savings not worth the hassle form my situation.

    It should be noted I have zero interest in the television part of their service. I'm perfectly happy getting only internet service with my own hardware.

    EDIT! Credit where it's due. I backed up and went to the internet only options. I'm now saving $20/month on the same plan I had.

    I only get the emails that I've exceeded my monthly data cap.

    Twice now, both freebies used up.

    Always when we get a new device early in the month. December was - well - Christmas toys and the Dish antenna was busted in the RV so FireTV got hammered and my work from home bandwidth use was much higher as well (uploading patch packages). Time before was the wife's new laptop in like June.

    I've been eyeballing the +1TB unlimited plan, I'll have to see what that looks like now.

    Threaten to cancel. They always find a plan to keep you.

    I'm not sure what steps to take.

    I can shave $20/mo off my current 300Mbps Blast+PRo whatever plan, but can't find an option to add back the $50 unlimited data cap.

    Hate to change it and find I don't have that option.
