Xfinity Internet Packages

Xfinity offers an impressive selection of standalone Internet plans perfect for streamers.

Keep in mind prices vary by plan. Head over to Xfinity to explore their latest offers!

Under 100 Mbps

Xfinity offers speeds under 100 Mbps as a good fit for single-person households that won’t be using a lot of devices at once. If your Internet usage includes checking email, browsing the web, and watching TV shows or movies, these speeds will meet your needs just fine. However, if you are also into online gaming, consider stepping up to the next package level.

100 & 200 Mbps

The 100 to 200 Mbps range is the “sweet spot” for most two to three person households, and is recommended for those who will be using up to eight devices at a time. While that may sound like a lot, consider how often you multitask — simultaneously watching a show in the background while catching up on work on your laptop, taking social media breaks on your phone in between rounds of online games, etc. If you have multiple people in the household, device usage will build up quickly. If household Internet needs aren't met, the next package level may serve you best.

300 Mbps

Xfinity recommends their 300 Mbps Internet plans for those who will be using up to 11 devices at one time, or two to five person households. These speeds will provide you with the necessary bandwidth to stream in HD across multiple devices, download shows and movies quickly, and engage in bandwidth-hogging multiplayer gaming.

600 Mbps

With Internet speeds of up to 600 Mbps, most households shouldn’t experience any speed-related issues at all. These speeds will provide the needed bandwidth for 12 or more devices to run seamlessly and simultaneously, including online gaming.

1,000 Mbps (1 Gig) and up

1 Gig speeds are a strong option to consider for homes where not only are the residents heavy Internet users, but the house itself is as well. If you have a large home outfitted with Internet-enabled security and smart home devices, your need for speed can increase quite a bit. 1 Gig Internet is the best fit for this type of home.
