hey everybody got a deal alert today and this one is coming from Xfinity yeah really and that's
because Xfinity is responding to the competition from 5G home internet providers with the deal of
its own and we're going to talk about whether it is worth considering let's get started the
details 25 a month for two years you get your Wi-Fi equipment included in that price there's
unlimited data at least in some areas and there is no annual contract so with this deal Xfinity
is eliminating some of those gotchas that have really LED customers to services like T-Mobile
home internet and Verizon home internet two internet options that I've reviewed on this
channel and also on michaelsaves.com so let's take a closer look the Xfinity deal is for
speeds up to 200 megabits per second and I think that's fast enough for most singles couples and
smaller households too the price as I mentioned is 25 a month for 24 months but taxes and fees
are extra so the good news is that if you're used to your internet provider hiking the price after
the first year that's not going to happen in this case but after year two the bad news
you can expect a higher price unless you call up XFINITY to renegotiate normally with Xfinity you
have to pay an extra 15 bucks a month to rent a Gateway not with this promotion the X5 Gateway is
included for the 24 months of the promotion more now about that unlimited data it is only for the
Northeast division so it looks like everyone else is going to be subject to Xfinity's 1.2
terabyte data cap enough for most households no problem but if you do go over that you'll
have to pay more and perhaps most important of all no term contract so if things don't work
out you can always cancel with Xfinity and you won't pay an early termination fee the second
part of this deal I want to mention has to do with bundling but not TV we're talking about bundling
Internet and mobile phone service take a look at the math you've got 25 a month for Xfinity's
Internet plan then you can add Xfinity mobile the unlimited intro plan normally a single the line is
forty five dollars per month but after a twenty dollar discount it's only twenty five so right
there you've got fifty dollars a month for Xfinity Internet and one line of Xfinity mobile not a bad
deal if you are not familiar Xfinity mobile runs on Verizon's Network and I've tested the service
multiple times over the years I do like it and I recommend it for people who are satisfied with
Xfinity Internet and there's a reason for that because you need Xfinity Internet to sign up for
the mobile service it's a requirement another thing to think about with Xfinity mobile is the
phone deals because they're pretty aggressive for a low-cost provider at recording time you can save
up to eight hundred dollars on a new Samsung with a trade-in I'll drop a link below to the latest
offers and also to my full review now Xfinity has really been going after the 5G home internet
services recently in its marketing specifically T-Mobile home internet and that's because these 5G
services are providing real competition T-Mobile home internet costs 50 bucks a month at recording
time some Wireless list customers pay only thirty dollars a month and Verizon 5G home internet also
50 bucks a month but only 25 for some of its Wireless customers both of the 5G home internet
services have no contracts no data caps and Wi-Fi equipment is included in the price plus they have
price guarantees so you're not going to pay more after the first year and you may also
want to consider the perks when you sign up for an internet plan Xfinity Internet customers are
losing free access to Peacock premium meanwhile the 5G home internet plans include additional
deals I gotta say that T-Mobile home internet really stands out in this area at recording time
the perks include free Paramount Plus for a year six months of Sirius XM and 10 monthly discounts
up and ask for the retention department present an offer from a 5G home internet service and see
if they'll lower your bill if you are not able to negotiate a lower rate with Xfinity you may
want to consider switching to T-Mobile or Verizon home internet if they're available where you live
