Attention: you have reached the top of Xfinity mountain. Premier is Xfinity’s top-tier package, the one that has all the channels and the highest price.
At this writing, Xfinity’s Premier and Preferred packages each include all 288 channels that Xfinity carries. What’s the difference, then? It comes down to channel counts—and the little plus signs after the numbers.
When you see “140+” or “260+” it means that a package contains at least 140 or 260 channels, and possibly more. Across its service area, Xfinity packages and bundles advertise up to 200–220+ channels in Preferred, and 220–260+ in Premier.
We’re not sure why both plans now include all of Xfinity’s available channels. Wouldn’t you go with the cheaper package (Preferred) if it has the same content? We would.
See below to read more about Premier’s channels, plus the various premium add-ons and channel packs you can add to your plan (for a fee).
