minus-squareStanleyDards@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoWatch your bill closely - after some time Xfinity may end your “discount” resulting in a surprise $80+ recurring monthly service fee. Also watch for xfinity data cap overage charges. At 800 mbit/sec, you can start seeing monthly usage overage fees within a few hours. No need to update your NIC. Just make sure all your gear has gigabit ports.
