What services does Xfinity provide?
Xfinity provides internet, TV, home phone, and mobile service to 41 states. The services are affordable and reliable, and the provider offers free perks, like Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspots and the Xfinity Stream app (a dream team for streaming live TV on your mobile device). And you can usually install everything yourself.
But your mileage may vary—Xfinity’s network is gigantic, and its services and plans vary across its three regions. Keep an eye on the contract lengths—some Xfinity regions have one-year contracts for internet and television, while others don’t. Also, we’re not fans of the hidden fees that come with its equipment or the data caps on Xfinity internet plans. Our guide will help you determine if Xfinity is the provider for you.

Xfinity’s Western residential customers should rejoice at the affordable 200 Mbps Connect More plan. Your family can stream TV on your Roku without worrying about constant buffering.
But if you have a larger family or a lot of smart-home devices, consider starting your plan search with Xfinity’s Fast, Superfast, or Gigabit (formerly Ultrafast) plans. All three plans have excellent download speeds between 400 Mbps and 1,000 Mbps, providing ample amounts of internet bandwidth for your household.
The Central region’s 200 Mbps plan recently went down in price to better match West Coast prices, and provides a decent speed for one or two devices marathoning your favorite Netflix original series.
If you’re really looking to support multiple streaming devices or some gaming, you might want to upgrade to Xfinity’s Fast, Superfast, or Gigabit plans. Their speeds, between 400 Mbps and 1,000 Mbps, are right in the sweet spot for a household with multiple smart-home devices.
Xfinity’s Northeast plans are much better than they were last year. Xfinity has recently condensed its plans to better match those of other regions, so you’ll no longer find yourself paying $65/mo. for embarrassingly slow speeds.
The best deal you’ll get right now is the super affordable 400 Mbps plan for just $30/mo. You’ll also get that price locked in for the first 24 months. The other plans aren’t too bad either if you need more juice.
Just keep an eye on Xfinity’s contract requirements, Northeasterners—as the Rumplestiltskin of the telecom world, Xfinity loves to hide things in the fine print.

Xfinity’s TV prices in the West region seem low, but there’s a catch—each plan requires a one-year contract. It might be worth it to commit to a year of the Popular TV and Ultimate TV packages, but we don’t recommend you buy Choice TV. It’s just a basic cable package—you’d be better off getting an over-the-air antenna.
The Central region’s plans look similar to those of the West region, but they’re more expensive at the Popular and Ultimate levels (again, avoid Choice TV). The tradeoff is that the Central region doesn’t require a term contract. You’re paying for the freedom to leave at any time.
Xfinity’s Northeast region recently switched from five to three plans in order to match the rest of the country. If you’re missing the old plans, don’t worry; Popular TV is very similar to the old Extra plan, providing 125+ standard cable channels, and Ultimate TV is a lot like the old Digital Preferred plan with 185+ channels.
The Popular TV package is fine for customers who want to save a bit of money, but Ultimate TV is a better choice for families who want lots of options.
There is no longer a top-tier package like the old Digital Premier, but you can essentially recreate it by signing up for Ultimate TV and manually adding premium channels like HBO to your bill.
All of Xfinity’s cable TV plans include the Xfinity Stream app, which lets you watch TV from your mobile device and TV. We’re all for melding with your couch, but mobile viewing comes in handy if the world drags you kicking and screaming from your house.

Xfinity Voice home phone service is good if you really want a landline
Plan | Price | Details |
---|---|---|
Xfinity Voice | $20.00/mo. | View plan |
Xfinity Voice is a digital Voice over Internet Protocol (or VoIP) landline phone service, which means the calls come (and go) through your Xfinity internet connection. VoIP phone calls tend to be clearer than regular landlines, and Xfinity includes features like three-way calling and voicemail-to-text messaging.
You’ll probably want to bundle Xfinity Voice with internet service, ’cause who gets just a landline? To find out more, see our Xfinity Voice review.
Xfinity FAQ
Is Xfinity TV and internet in my area?
Xfinity is available in most US states, but you’ll have to check if it services your neighborhood. Enter your zip code above to check Xfinity availability in your area.
What is the cheapest Xfinity plan?
The cheapest Xfinity internet plan is 75 Mbps for $19.99 in the West region, 75 Mbps for $30.00 in the Central region, and 200 Mbps for $25.00/mo. in the Northeast region. Unfortunately, plan pricing and naming varies by region.
Is the Xfinity Flex really free?
As of November 2023, Xfinity Flex is no longer available.
Is Comcast or Xfinity better?
Comcast and Xfinity are the same thing—you can’t trip us up with your trick question!
In 2010, Comcast started using Xfinity as its trade name for TV, internet, and phone services.
And as part of Comcast, Xfinity has built-in relationships with Comcast’s other products, such as NBCUniversal. That’s one of the reasons you’ll get the Peacock Premium streaming service for free with your Xfinity cable TV service.
What is the best Xfinity deal?
The best Xfinity deal is Superfast Internet + Ultimate TV, which provides 800 Mbps download speeds and 185+ cable channels. Your savings may vary by region, though, and depending on where you live, it could cost $115–$120 a month.

How reliable is Xfinity?
According to our customer satisfaction survey, 62% of Xfinity customers are satisfied with their internet service. In addition, 69% of Xfinity customers are satisfied with their internet speed, tying it for first place with Verizon. Cable service will always be dependent on how heavy usage is in your network, so for more reliable speeds, we recommend fiber internet if you have the option.
