Can't stand Xfinity. Left them years ago for FiOS. FiOS has it's moments but nothing compared to that Xfinity bull

Never been but a totally random memory I have about that place: Many many years ago, this place was a single story dump called “Hot Diggity Dogs”. It sat abandoned for years but had a cool look and sign iirc. Never been to either.

Ive paid the same price since the 50/50 days and now have 300/300 but in some cases I get higher than 300 for DL. I pay $40/mo. FiOS is absolutely amazing and I am so glad we ditched Comcast all those years ago

Pay for 1GB up and 1GB down. Plugged directly into the modem I get those speeds and about 2ms ping to the nearest server

Gigabit. Both are over 900Mb/s even during prime time. I'm sure the oversubscription ratio is quite low since A LOT of people I talk to only use Comcast.
Edit: also only $70 a month after auto payment and VZW discount, each being $10.

Check the wiring inside of your house. If it's the older RG59 and not RG6 it may be the limiting factor but your uploads should still be much higher than Xfinity.

So you're not recommending a stuffed flounder special?

Yeah, the Verizon routers are OK at best. We switched to a three-node mesh network just before COVID hit, and it blasts everywhere in the house and into our back yard - well worth the initial setup expense.

I pay 800/200 or w/e with Comcast. I only get speeds up to 200 DL. Was told numerous different things by field technicians so I gave up. I wish Fios was available at my house.

I pay for gigabit both ways and absolutely get what I pay for. I always praise Fios’ rock solid reliability and their really good customer service.

Because Verizon stopped laying fibre and Elon went full Bond Villain, so Starlink is out.

My up/down is great and as advertised -- around 250 each with strong signal, sometimes a bit higher, sometimes a bit lower.
BUT I will say that the router they provide has frustrating periods of weak signal that effectively kills the bandwidth. There will be one day every two weeks (maybe? on average?) where for 20 minutes of every 30, just being at my desk 15 feet / two walls away will drop me down to 3-5 mbps, with my Windows wifi signal showing 2 or 3 bars out of 4. It's a mystery, and can be very frustrating, because with my partner and I each working from home on opposite sides of the apartment with the router in our bedroom in the middle, during those periods neither of us has good signal.

I pay $123 a month for the fastest Verizon speed I can get.... 3.0mbps DSL. :(

Just ran a test, came back as 917 Mbps Down / 933 Mbps Up and I pay for the 1Gbps symmetrical plan. Worst I've ever seen was something like 700 / 300 to a server on the other side of the country.
