That's how I've gotten yearly deals
Xfinity pricing is always based on the fact how much people can spend in their service area + how many other competitors are there. So lot of YMMV.

if they try to increase the price, I will just switch to another I guess.
What do you do at home, even with 5 heavy users, to justify 400+?
Why higher upload speeds? It wasn't even multiple people doing Zoom or video chats. It was stupid apps saturating the uplink for 5-30 min at a time, killing any downloads (even simple web browsing), due to bufferbloat. The worst uplink offenders?
-Apple devices, iPads, iPhones, Mac doing cloud backups or whatever, anytime they feel like it, with no way to control it (even if device is showing zero apps open)
-teenagers using free online video editing tools to create social media videos, the entire massive video clip has to be uploaded to the free online platform.
So we had to up our Xfinity tier to 600-1000 Mbps packages just to get a bit more upload speed to 20-25 Mbps. Now that they enabled mid-split in my neighborhood last month, we're getting 120 Mbps upload, we could drop to a lower speed tier - except we're already locked in for 2 years on the 800 Mbps tier for $20/month, ain't gonna get any cheaper...

Still, if you can only get Xfinity, this is a good price if you can get it.

How are you getting more upload than down, and what did you do to get that level of upload speed? I'm paying for 1GB down, and the best they can give me is 20Mbps up.
