About a week ago we installed our Xfinity blast from Comcast and I have to say I’m not very impressed. Yes we get a good internet speed, but since we have to have everything wireless we don’t get the speed we pay for.
The channel line up sucks and what I hate about this is that you can’t add a higher channel package to the blast internet. I would be very willing to pay $10-$15 more to add the 40+ channels. You can however add the movie channels to your package.
Here are the channels you get as of Jan 2014
QVC
HSN
Cartoon Network
Lifetime
History
A&E
E!
Comedy Central
Spike TV
USA Network
Fox News Channel
CNN
The Weather Channel
Food Network
Animal Planet
TLN
BET
ShopNBC
TV Guide Network
Discovery Channel
Comcast Network 100
CSPAN 2 News & Info
Cable Marketplace 1
Cable Marketplace 3
EWTN
Jewelry Television
Music Choice Music
It’s not too bad, but as an interior design major, even if I’m not using it. I really want HGTV and it would be nice to have TNT. Really I would love to see just a few more tv options and less music.
Price wise it’s not bad, but I’ll be honest since I use wireless I don’t get the speed they say I get, so I’m thinking I may once I get into my new job switch to something with more TV and less internet, it’s just not worth it since I won’t be on the internet as much.
we are using comcast xfinity and been enjoying the good show it offers.
I don’t use Xfinity and I agree with you the channel line up does leave a lot to be desired. Thank you for sharing this review.
