Xfinity is a brand used by Comcast, a telecommunication company offering cable television and internet services in the United States of America. They have several internet connection plans that are provided at different speeds depending on what the customer needs and how much they are willing to pay for the service. So the question that arises naturally is, what is the best, the absolute fastest internet speed that Xfinity supplies?
I have found the following information regarding the fastest Xfinity Internet connection.
Gigabit Pro is currently Internet service Provider fastest internet plan with the download speed of up to 2 Gbps (2,000 Mb/s). This blazing fast speed is achieved by the fiber optic network which does not rely on cable infrastructure, but is brought directly to the home.
Let me give you an idea of what 2 Gbps is; it is more than 20 times or roughly 20 times faster than the average internet speed in the United States of America. This means that, in less than 30 seconds, you could download a full high-definition movie or download 50 songs in 1 second. When it comes to households with a lot of devices connected to the internet or households that require the lowest latency rates for gaming and/or streaming this kind of speed is simply excessive in the best of ways.
However, the majority of households do not need such high internet speeds and can make do with a more modest plan. But the Gigabit Pro package is not cheap in any sense, and you will have to pay $299.95 per month plus a $1000 activation fee. Indeed, although it is Xfinity’s top-tier bundle, it serves a very specific audience.
Specifically, XFINITY believes that it offers more reasonable speed choices to customers than its competitors.
For most households, Xfinity's second and third fastest tiers offer a better blend of speed and value:For most households, Xfinity's second and third fastest tiers offer a better blend of speed and value:
- Gigabit Internet: Offers even up to 1G on download for $84.99 per month
- Extreme Pro Internet: The price offer for the download speed of up to 800 Mbps is $59.99 a month.
It is also important to point that 1 Gbps means one gigabit per second which is still an incredibly fast connection speed. It would be possible to have several users gaming online, streaming 4K content, video calling and others without having lags.
The 800 Mbps Extreme Pro plan is quite useful for many connected households that are busy with their internet usage. It is possible to do a lot of high bandwidth operation at once without being faced with difficulties. Home internet download speeds in the US are at an average of 142 Mbps, and even this faster Xfinity plan is still five times faster.
Things to Consider
When getting Xfinity internet, there are a few key things to consider
1. Speed requirements – reflect on the number of users or devices that will be simultaneously connected and the tasks that are planned. This defines how much speed you may genuinely need.
2. Other plan features: Xfinity offers its packages based on some features such as data usage, modem costs, and everything in between. Be careful in choosing where and what to buy since there are a lot of choices and sometimes the cheapest is not always the best one.
3. Save on Xfinity TV Packages and home phone services; by combining those with internet services from Xfinity, you can possibly save $15-30 per month.
Even though Xfinity Gigabit Pro provides even more with the best possible speed of 2 Gbps in theory, plans like Gigabit at 1000 Mbps or even Extreme Pro at 800 Mbps are more than enough for most users. It will always be advisable to understand the speed requirements of your home and compare the different packages, special offers, and other additions that will help you save more money. Xfinity has also made it easier for customers to get packages that meet almost every home’s internet needs by coming up with versatile packages.
