I switched to T-Mobile and connection has been fine. They’re cheaper and very pleasant to deal with too. You just have to make sure your contract is up w Comcast or they’ll charge you a BS “termination fee”

Yeah it's just I don't know how it is in my specific location since it depends on proximity to a 5G tower. I'm asking around to see if anyone has it near me. I work from home 80% of the time so I need it to be reliable. One thing about comcast, as evil as they are with price gouging, I've literally never had an issue with outages or reliability. I know many other people have, so maybe I'm lucky I don't know.

I'm on the east end of Pigtown and switched to T-Mobile over a year ago. It's been stellar! I also work from home most days. I think I pay $50/mo all inclusive.

Hmm ok. At this point it may even be worth it to just get both for a month and cancel one or the other depending on how 5G goes. I just don't want to cancel comcast now only to find out 5G is no good for me.

I switched to T-Mobile 5g purely to stick it to Xfinity. The service was ok, but not reliable enough at my particular address to keep (ymmv), so after a few months I switched back to Xfinity when they offered me a $30/month rate for two years. Here’s hoping when the cheap two years runs out that there will be more or better options for internet.

I'm in the same zip code you mentioned, and my internet drops for a few hours every once in a while (I'd estimate once per month). And I don't even work from home, so it probably happens more often than that and I just don't notice
