bigsnake49 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Actually the $12 per GB is pretty good since it already includes unlimited text and talk. If you have 5 lines and you want to share 5GB that's $60/month including unlimited text and voice.

Mitsospiros Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Actually the $12 per GB is pretty good since it already includes unlimited text and talk. If you have 5 lines and you want to share 5GB that's $60/month including unlimited text and voice. Yes it is a good deal. My family will sign up for this plan tonight or tomorrow. Wifey works for Comcast. This is going to cut our bill significantly. You can have up to 5 lines and you can some on unlimited and others per GB. Wife uses a ton of data so she will pay $45 for unlimited. The others don't use much data so they will be $12 per GB combined. I don't think the other 3 people will be using more than 2GB combined. So that would be $45 + $24. $70 for 4 lines is a good deal. They are now on AT&T and pay about $240 per month.

laqn1283 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 How does Comcast provide voice and or data service when you are on the highways, metro etc? I can see Comcast can provide adequate service on inner city roads but big road and highways will be a major challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenbastard Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Xfinity Mobile was just announced: http://corporate.comcast.com/news-information/news-feed/comcast-xfinity-mobile Unlimited – Consume all the cellular data you want for one set price for up to five lines.2 $65 per line on up to five lines with no usage limits, or $45 per line for our customers with our best X1 packages. By the Gig – $12 per GB of cellular data across all lines on an account each month. Seventy percent of U.S. wireless customers use less than 5 GB of cellular data per month3, so families can share their data across devices and will only pay for what they use. 2 Reduced speeds after 20 GB of cellular data usage Am I missing something here? How is this a good value? This explains all the work Comcast has been doing in my neighborhood this entire month. Since the end of last year, they've been adding Xfinity hotspots in utility poles all over the city. There are places I can drive for over a mile and not lose the xfinitywifi connection. It's quite annoying as handoffs aren't smooth from one AP to the next so I end up with timed out streams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I don't know for sure but I don't think Comcast as an MVNO can distinguish hotspot tethering traffic from normal traffic. So your family can tether to your wife's Unlimited line whenever possible to cut the GB consumption down to minimum.

jroepcke51 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I checked this morning and I am eligible for the new plan. I am switching as I will pay the same and it will include 10gb per line of hotspot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSpark Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Marcelo dropping this: 1/ Remember when the @Sprint network once again beat @TMobile’s in @RootMetrics most recent report? 2/ @TMobile said they don’t believe in that type of testing, things like @speedtest matter. 3/ So we used @speedtest at #MarchMadness final game on Monday & look what happened! @Sprint beat @TMobile AGAIN (& @Verizon & @ATT, too)! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillM Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 $45 a month unlimited with a Comcast plan That's if you have a higher end plan which I haven't seen defined yet. Otherwise it's $65 which is still a good deal for basically unlimited data on the Verizon network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSpark Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I'm a bit confused, did you get it from the play store or did it come preloaded in a G5 specific update?For devices on which Sprint Zone is preloaded, the My Sprint App Update is pushed OTA. All future updates will be via Google Play. For devices which don't have Sprint Zone preloaded (Nexus/Pixel, etc.), My Sprint will be available in Google Play for download. All future updates will be via Google Play. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually 4 utility poles a part. Don't really see the point in Comcast doing that, even with this MVNO business. If you in Comcast market, and they have a majority of the subscribers, you could not lose wifi cause all the Comcast customers have a Comcast cable modem that has WiFi built in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely coul be Comcast's wifi. Optimum has a ton of hotspots on utility poles and lines in my neighborhood. And with the cable agreement, you can connect to Xfinity, Optimum, and I want to say Charter. I know where my parents live, Comcast has a bunch of hotspots as well in town. You need to sign into these hotspots with your account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avb Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I wonder if Comcast will count the data used from their wifi access points against your data usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
