Xfinity vs. T-Mobile 5G Home Internet: Is Comcast Worried?

I’m thinking of moving to xfinity. I’ve been extremely dissatisfied with T-Mobile home internet. From 6 months of using it it has been very unstable. I work from home so I need good and fast speeds. I’m so over my Zoom calls not being heard by the other person. I keep getting Zoom notifications saying I’ve lost connection or that it is unstable. I can’t even play only video games via WiFi as my WiFi is considered too unstable to play one match on Fortnite. Xfinity can’t be worse.

For that price I’m actually thinking about switching from Xfinity. They are over $100 a month now.

I'm not happy with Xfinity. So today, I canceled my Xfinity and signed up for TMOBILE internet. So far, I've been happy with all my TMOBILE devices and customer service.

Thanks for the awesome review. You've convinced me that it's worth my while to at the very least, try T-Mobile 5G home internet service out.

You better believe Comcast is worried. They are offering deals I have never seen before and I have been a customer for over 20 years (mostly because they formed Monopoly in our area).

I cut my two xfinity accounts and never look back. I also cut a local cable I like too. I live all over the US. So i had 3 land line internet service. I change to t mobile for one to try out. I cancel the rest and got myself a extra one. So I could bring it with me when I travel. So right now. I have 2 tmobile 5g and 2 verizon. I only have travel with my tmobile. Works good all over the US. Reason I got 2 verizon is 2 tmobile is the limit per person. really dumb LOL.

Fiber is froterr and they lag a lot I have xfinity prepaid and it's ok

Me and my kiddos use t-mobile home internet. We have 3 ps5, 2 phones, ipad and a roku and its works great. My old internet only got 44mbs a second. We are getting 400+ consistently.

Being a supporter of Greedy Capitalism, I was quite offended by Xfinity for jacking my monthly internet rate 30% to $120 when they could have just as easily hit me up for 2x that. In my concern for their well being I decided to change over to T-Mobile for the $50/mo. Who wants to do business with a company like Comcast who won’t even look out for their own fat cats.

Warning - 2.4 signal WILL NOT WORK. on T-Mobile. They won't tell you that at the T-Mobile store so, you're welcome. ********The new Comcast 10G is awesome - I'm just a user - a happy one - Easy install - Everything works - Fast - 2.4gh security system works. Great signal. Works with all smart tv channels. Just trying to help others out with honest reviews. we plugged that sucker in and BOOM - it worked******. I kept looking at it like that can't be right! Too easy. LOL

After using MetroPCS since 2017 for my 4 phone lines I made the mistake of trying their Internet Deal. Free month of Internet is a joke. It costs you $55 for a (FREE) month. The sales person told me I would get my (FREE) month on the nest bill. LIE.
Then they billed me again in 18 days (NOT IN A MONTH).... and cut my phone service off because of the additional bill which I wasn't expecting for another 12 days.. I was forced to pay again to keep my phone service. The REALITY OF THE INTERNET SPEED TRY 23 MEG on the OKOLA speed test, If your trying to watch a program on tv it will sputter and freeze. You TUBE CUTS OUT . If you have 2 devices they will not work at the same time... If you have 1 it might work. DON"T BELIEVE THE SALES HYPE.... THIS SERVICE IS CRAP / I AM CANCELING AS SOON AS THIS BILLING PERIOD EXPIRES. Then their is the customer service issue.. IF YOU CAN GET PAST THEIR COMPUTERIZED VOICE DEFLECTION SYSTEM. YOU CANNOT TALK TO AN AGENT. Even if you need one, It will just keep cycling you through and asking the same question over and over again.. BEYOND FRUSTRATING... ABSOLUTE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE: BE WARNED... However you can go to the store and pay them $5 to help you as your only option. Sorry for the CAPS... Its just how I feel right now. Good Luck

I had tmobile for a year now. It was good up-into a few weeks ago, now I can barely receive/send emails. Forget tv, won't even start now. I didn't everything from calling tmobile to moving my unit but still, super bad service, I might get one bar. Others in my area said xfinity works great so I'm going to give them a try.

xfinity is garbage. i've paid for 1G for two years and never get over 200Mbps down. also, reliable my ass. i get 1-2 day log outages every month. How easy is it to dumb tmobile?

Xfinity plays a lot of games with small print with their subscribers. Tmobile wins all day every day!!

Another issue is the fact that T-Mobile, Verizon, etc., have not rolled out 5G in a large swath of the nation. If you live in a decent sized city you get 5G which is required for their internet. I don't live in the boondocks, I don't live in a state like Montana with a population density of perhaps 4 people per square mile, I live about 30 miles outside Chicago. And I have no access to 5G from any source. Currently my only decent access to internet is Xfinity. AT&T only offers DSL and has no near term plans to install fiber near me. So even though I detest their business model, pricing model, and customer service, I'm stuck with Xfinity. On the positive side, I have none of the complaints you see from people on AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon internet. My service is dependable and fast. I don't like the price I'm paying, but until someone offers similar service in my area I'm stuck paying the high price. This is what happens when our government allows monopolies.

$80 is absurd for pokey cable Internet. I look forward to flushing charter when the time is right.

Just got Hulu live Friday and has been mostly fine. I did have issue Saturday but turns out was just one channel and the rest worked fine. All is well at the moment. Now it should be mentioned that Disney plus with ads does not work on Roku tv. This is confirmed on their app.

I bet you when Xfinity was criticizing T-Mobile they never mentioned xfinity's data caps. If T-Mobile was smart they would advertise the hell out of that most people hate data caps most people do not want them even if they come nowhere near them

When being part of the top plan of T-Mobile magenta max they give you a $20 discount on your WiFi and wave the activation fee for another router meaning you can have 2 home internets in your house. One home internet on the magenta max plan is only $30 a month too

I am paying $215.69 monthly for Xfinity

We dropped xfinity because they kept raising the price of service, now we have 123net and the price is locked in. We have a faster speed for HALF THE PRICE.

I pay $50 for T-Mobile instead of $208 for comcast. Haven't been happier and works great for a family of 4.

I chose T-Mobile mainly because it is reliable. T-Mobile is not raising any prices like Xfinity which gives you an introductory price and then every year you have to call them up and complain about why did my bill go from $60 to $120. And basically the T-Mobile is reliable and I don't have to rent a modem or go out and buy another modem because of this or that. So for me it works and I have a couple of T-Mobile home internet modems on my account

I have T-Mobile it’s trash the ping keeps changing within 30 seconds it can go from 40 to 70 back to 50 then up to 140 it’s horrible switching to xfinty I’ll let y’all know how it goes

I think it is based on locations, I can't even get a good signal from my cellphone where I live. I trust my cable even during storms, snow, etc. Now the question is, how do the towels behave in such events.

Comcast has a lot of "contracts" with localities that no competing cable internet services are allowed. 5g is not a cable internet service. T-Mobile is busting up their MONOPOLY!

The bitter irony about Xfinity's new anti-tmobile TV ad campaign is that the Xfinity marketing department must fund the campaign. That funding comes directly from the existing customer's wallets vs. putting that money back in the customer's pockets in some other way like, uh, simply lowering prices...

Hats off to T-Mobile for bringing much needed competition into the market. If only they could iron out a few key issues. Then they might be a viable alternative to Xfinity. T-Mobile I know you aren't reading this but I will say it anyways. To be competitive with Xfinity you need to offer a real publicly routable IPv4 address, latency that doesn't spike to 300+ ms, jitter that doesn't exceed 10 ms, and finally equal priority to cell phone users on your towers. Fix all of these short comings and I will give you a try. Until them I am happy with my Xfinity gigabit service.

I am an Xfinity rep here on the east coast. We've lost millions of customers to T-mobile internet. Managment is scared, they just increased speeds to people for free here on the East coast to try and compete. I think this is great. Competition is giving better internet to everyone.

I've had both, I switch back and forth offens. With T mobile home internet I got faster speeds both download and upload, but with Xfinity the speeds are more consistent and if your a gamer Xfinity has lower ping.

All in all if your not a gamer t mobile is more bang for the buck!!!!

Who listens to the radio when Spotify is a thing it's 2022

I pay $30 for TMO internet. Better than paying an arm and leg to xfinity.

This is great! I only have access to Xfinity cable in my area. I feel like I'm at their mercy, hopefully this will make things competitive.

Fiber is better then FWA

Wish this had captioning. I have CommunistCast (xfinity). They recently upped the download speed to 200 mbps for $50. (no additional cost). I expect a price increase in January, as that seems to be historically what they do (increase the speed, then the price).

I have T-Mobile home Internet. It has been 4 months now and it has worked very well, it works in good and bad weather. I did leave Comcast because T-Mobile is the first to give me another choice. Michael I think you will like the service, this is the start of FWA (Fixed Wireless Access).
Verizon and AT&T will also have these options, but they are very late to the party. It may take them another two years to catch up to T-Mobile.

Interesting..thanks again...do ya know why Tmobile isn't part of the ACP?..neighbor on ltd income has tmo phone, but no internet..her cable cost is ridiculous...thx Michael
