Testing your Xfinity Internet speed
Xfinity advertises eight different plans.
These come at eight price and speed tiers. Each is customized to meet customer needs. The ideal plan for you will be dependent on how much you use or rely on the Internet. The more devices connected, the more bandwidth you will require. Bandwidth refers to how much data can pass through the connection at a time. This is reflected in megabits per second (Mbps). For smaller households using the Internet for checking e-mails, minor streaming or Internet browsing could use a lower tier plan to accommodate their needs. Those that are using the Internet for streaming, gaming or video uploading would require a higher tier. Xfinity’s fastest plan is the Gig Pro.
The plan offers:
- Download speeds of 6000 Mbps. This makes it an excellent option for home-based businesses.
- It also supports multiple gamers at a time.
- It has the lowest reported lag.
This is a competitive advantage for the provider. Most users experience higher lag with the other Internet service providers. That said, many households would be fine selecting a mid-tier plan in the range of 50 to 100 Mbps.
