Frequently asked
Is fiber better than cable?
Usually. Fiber uploads match downloads and latency is lower. Cable is more widely available and can be cheaper in year one.
Is 5G home internet better than cable?
It's often cheaper and needs no technician, but speeds vary with signal. Cable is steadier if you work from home or game.
Which is cheaper, Xfinity or Spectrum?
Spectrum is cheaper in year one ($30). Xfinity's 300 Mbps plan is $45 but locked for five years, so it can cost less over time.
