Could it be? There is actually competition in the high speed Internet space?

“Comcast recently started offering five-year price guarantees and said it would continue adding more customer-friendly plans because of its recent struggles. After reporting a net loss of 183,000 residential broadband customers in Q1 2025, Comcast President Mike Cavanagh said during an April earnings call that "in this intensely competitive environment, we are not winning in the marketplace in a way that is commensurate with the strength of [our] network and connectivity products.””

“Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited data”

Ars Technica · Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited dataBy Jon Brodkin

PSA: NEVER EVER use Xfinity mobile as your cell provider! I initially switched to them when I left my job to try and save money. In fairness it was a substantial amount less than my plan at the time.

However it was absolutely not worth it! Their app is so broken It was almost impossible to see or change details, including canceling my plan and transferring out. But the worst of it was it was unreliable. I missed out on an opportunity for what was likely as close to a dream job for me because my phone didn't ring when they called to set up an interview and didn't notify me in any way that a call was missed or a voicemail was left. I basically cold called my voicemail to find out.

But by the time I figured this out they had already filled the position the day before. I am still unemployed and my financial situation isn't great. This was a dagger to the heart. Especially because it was a job I really really wanted. I didn't even get the chance to interview for it, not because the opportunity wasn't there but because my phone service was unreliable. I didn't even get to shoot my shot.
