If Comcast is your only option then this is something you should take advantage of
Anyway I saw T-Mobile Home Internet was $50/month for 5G, no data caps so tried them. I should have noticed the warning signs. I couldn't order the service from their website. I would get to the last step of the process and it would crash and tell me to call customer service. I really didn't want to talk to a human, OK, fine. I ended up calling the customer service line and talked to a very helpful guy who signed me up in about 10 minutes. The website was going to charge me a $35 installation charge, but I never saw the charge show up so I didn't complain and said "thank you."
2 business days later the gateway arrived. I plugged it in, it almost finished setup but near the end of the process it wouldn't finish the configuration. It just stalled out. I restarted the gateway and it worked the 2nd time.. warning sign #2.. After about 2 weeks of rock solid service (generally 230mbps, a few times over 350mbps, with 5mbps-12mbps upload) I was confident the service was reliable, so I cancelled Comcast. I told them I was REALLY cancelling but they didn't seem to care. Asked to speak to retention.. "this is the retention department.." asked to talk to a manager.. "I am the manager.." OMFG. They just didn't care. I cancelled the service.
Then a week later T-Mobile internet started having issues. It would work for a couple of days, then I'd have 5 minute outages several times a week. I was in the office with the gateway once and determined when I had an outage, it was due to the gateway spontaneously rebooting on its own. It takes about 4 minutes to boot up.. so that's the outage I was seeing. Long story short, I called T-Mobile and chewed them out. What's going on with my service, etc. They said there are multiple towers in my area (I have good 5G signal on my cell phone) but the tower my gateway is "bound" to was broken. They switched me to another tower, it worked for a few days, then the same issue. Called again, the woman took pity on me and gave me a month of free service (thank you!). Over the next month I called every week to complain about crappy service and request service credits (I was tolerating the crappy service until I could get my $60 early termination fee Comcast charged me refunded by T-Mobile, as well as my $200 rebate for switching to T-Mobile home internet). I received my $60 refund about 2 weeks ago. Finally last week, after giving me one free month of service and about $30 in service credits, customer service informed me "this is the last credit; if the service isn't working for you, we apologize for the issue but we can't provide free service and you may wish to consider cancelling." I said thank you and hung up. I was starting to wonder if I would be able to tolerate this service much longer. Some days the service was so bad (6+ outages in a single day), I had to use tethering on my 5G cell phone. This past month I used up my entire 10GB tethering allotment. Not to worry; tethering is unlimited, right? I never realized after 10GB that the tethering speed is decreased to 600kbps.
Later the next day I received an email from T-Mobile congratulating me on my $200 rebate. I redeemed the virtual debit card, then checked Comcast's website. After 2 months of not having Comcast service I was now a "new customer" again and qualified for $35/month for 300mbps for 24 months. I signed up immediately. They sent me a self-install kit ($0 charge) but since I am using my own modem I had no idea what they would send me. Anyway I used the Xfinity app to self-install, activating the same cable modem I had been using w/Comcast for 3+ years (Netgear CM500; yes, it's an old one and not DOCSIS 3.1 but it works for now!). I then called T-Mobile minutes later and cancelled my service. The next day I dropped my T-Mobile gateway off at the T-Mobile store for them to ship back to the return center. A couple of days later, I received the self-install kit from Comcast: It was a brand-new coax cable and a little paper pamphlet directing me to use the Xfinity app to activate my modem and start internet service, which I had already done! I wonder how much money they are wasting on sending out these pointless items.. They should have sent nothing when I advised I was using my own equipment. So wasteful.
So, yah. Quite annoying to have to jump through all these hoops for decent internet service pricing. I wish there were other options in my area, so for now looks like Comcast is the only game in town really. It's reliable and the speeds are consistent. T-Mobile home internet, even when it was stable, would have speed spikes. I wouldn't notice while streaming, but during downloads you would see the download rate go wildly up and down. With Comcast it's rock solid and the downloads are fast. I really don't like the data caps w/Comcast but this is what I'm stuck with for the next 24 months. Hopefully by then there will be other options in my neighborhood.
I tried T-Mobile Home Internet because I've always had great 5G service at my house, and the internet service uses the same towers. I have friends with T-Mobile internet and it works great for them! In my area they were having constant problems with towers. One time I called they said a tower was out of service due to "theft," whatever that means (someone stealing something from the tower??). I have no idea if they were making excuses or it was actually happening. And they also informed me the internet gateway can't roam among the towers... the gateway is provisioned to a single tower. So if using a cell phone, if it sees a tower is crappy it automatically switches to another tower.. and you don't notice the issue. With the gateway, if you are assigned to a bad tower, you're gonna have service issues.
Finally, to add insult to injury: A day after cancelling T-Mobile home internet they sent me a text notification on my phone, advising me that their 5G Home Internet service is available in my area! "Would you like to sign up?" it asked me. Heck no! Clearly they don't know what is going on. If you try it and it does work, you are luckier than I was!!

However, it does jump to $35 when I add it to cart, so I'll have to chat with them to see if they'll honor it.
There are deals for existing customers, surprisingly. I am only Gold since I recently moved 2 years ago, and I typically cancel and sign up if retentions didn't offer me a decent deal.
Normally they'll find the best priced promo & have you sign back up again. I've done this multiple times for over a decade. The only downside is you will be back on a 1 or 2-year contract.

The cell service was pretty good and worked in Alaska when T-Mobile didn't work
I wonder if Xfinity would let you wait until September for any iPhone 16 promos to add the free line.
