We had nothing but trouble with our internet service starting a few days after installation. Tried fixing it through “troubleshooter” but that failed & spoke with several techs, but they could not find the problem. I had to find the problem myself, which turned out that unbeknownst to me, the service we were sold on was a metered acct. … We should have been told before installation about this metering & the problems it could cause. At the very least, Comcast/Xfinity should have been able to solve the problem. I fixed the problem, therefore, Comcast/Xfinity should have been able to fix it, too!
