Please be aware - these xfinity comcast speeds are not guaranteed, read the fine print, after paying for gigabit speeds for 2 yrs realized it never came even close, we were getting only 250 mbps I tried different routers.
Also if you have many in the neighborhood on Xfinity, it slows you down.
Lastly, when we went past 1 TB we got an additional bill saying we used too much, this happened for two months and I switched.
Although their Customer Service is much better than ATT
Why are you using so much data? People who use this for regular purposes dont worry about the cap. If you have excessive users or use alot of data, you should pay a penalty. You slow down the network for all of us. I wish they'd double or triple the cap penalty. I dont necessarily want you to get fined. I just want to disincentivize you from slowing down the network. The only way most people change behavior is monetarily. Would be happy if this causes you to switch providers to go slow down their network instead.
"Why are you using so much data?"
Why doesn't Comcast better keep up with the network capacity customers need? With remote work, 2 computers on VPN, file up/downloads. Zoom meetings and then personal usage… watch a few 4K movies and see what your monthly data usage looks like.
Stop blaming consumers for the results of corporate greed and political corruption that allows these monopolies.
Can I have two internet service provider at my address? I have verizon but would like to split my devices between two providers.
Yes, it's possible, nothing preventing you from that. I used to do this with a Load Balancer router a few years ago; I had Comcast cause it was fast but had a data cap, the other ISP had no data cap but was much slower.
Later on I upgraded my wireless router that had dual WAN connections, flashed to a custom firmware and re-routed all streaming devices to use my other ISP and any other device to use Comcast.
If you can't do any of the above, having two wireless routers provided by your ISPs also works, but local file sharing won't be possible.
However, as of 2 years ago I don't have this setup, I ditched Comcast and got a better ISP with symmetrical speeds.

I just signed up for their Mobile a few days ago(already had internet with them) and I got a $200 prepaid card and upgraded to 600Mbps for 20/m for 2 years.
Sure; it's your money. I don't think there are many/any consumer solutions for dual connections or load balancing at the WAN input, but someone probably has a git repository that could be set up on a small PC, maybe even a Pi. Here's the first Google hit: https://github.com/Adze1502/mwan
Edit: you can do this manually if you want to dedicate certain devices to certain networks. Just set up two routers and two wired networks or, for wireless, set them up with different SSIDs and bind them to specific, different channels. Bonus points if you spring for a 6e wireless router, as it will have several non-overlapping channel bands.

You need a device that can support this. I have a Ubiquiti dream machine pro that supports up to 2 WAN connections. I run my business from my house so having redundancy makes sense in my situation.
Comcast was charging me more than I wanted for gig speeds so I went with another provider but wanted to keep Comcast as a backup. But their plans were too expensive as backups at the time. This 50 mbps plan is spot on and reasonably priced for what I'd need as a backup plan (assuming the plan can be maintained at $20/mo).

People in my home before the pandemic used it for regular purposes, and during summer we would use a little over 2 TB because of streaming. I don't know what excessive users means to you, but to me a family of 5 isn't excessive.
During the quarantine, we used about 4 TB or more with WFH and zoom classes for the kids.
Last month as a one-off we used up 7 TB because of off-site data backups for our family photos, videos and media from Plex.
Comcast needs to get it together and upgrade their back-end with all of the money they make. It's scummy how they also never advertise their upload speeds until you are at checkout on their website. Instead of increasing download speeds they should be increasing the upload. No idea why you're bashing the consumer, wrong target.
We changed to another ISP that had a more robust and properly upgraded back-end network with symmetrical speeds and no data cap during the pandemic, thank goodness.

This is a really good deal. Too bad it's 4 months too late for me, just moved here in July and signed up for a pretty good one year deal, but compared to this it really doesn't even come close.
Wish I had this deal when I was first getting Xfinity a year ago. I was on a promotional $35 for 100MB for a year and it just ran out, which meant I was paying $55 a month.
Called them and they were able to upgrade me to 600MB for $50 for 24 months. Not a fan of these long contracts but sadly the only other option in my area is ATT DSL which is slow and expensive.
Check your sign up information...you might not actually be locked in for 24 months. The deals I'm seeing in my area lock the price in for 24 months, but it's with a a 1-year agreement. So it's really only in a 1 year contract.
Also, when your contract ends, it might be worth it to switch to AT&T on a monthly/no contract deal then switch back to Xfinity for the new customer deal. Especially if it's something like $55 vs. $20 and a higher speed (as in my case).
Whatever you guys say... Xfinity is great. Super reliable. It is never down. Compared to others in the area. Speed is reliable too always more than what you pay for
agreed. they're also cheap. i've been paying 20 bucks for like 5 years. just call every year to get the same rate. have gotten free speed boosts in that time as well. i always get more than advertised speeds.. internet has been down like 3 times total in those 5 years and always at like 3 am when it doesn't matter as much .
