Xfinity Mobile's Unlimited Plans Just Got Cheaper
Xfinity Mobile is simplifying and reducing the prices of its unlimited data plans. Customers may now choose between Unlimited and Unlimited Plus, with single-line pricing at $40 and $50, respectively.
The cheaper Unlimited plan is pretty attractive. It starts at $40 but falls to just $25 per line with four lines. You also get 5G connectivity and unlimited low-speed mobile hotspot data. However, video streaming on this plan is locked at 480p (over a mobile connection), and you only get 30GB of full-speed data each month.
Things are a lot better on the Unlimited Plus plan, which starts at $50 but gets as low as $35 per line. Unlimited Plus delivers 720p mobile video streaming, 50GB of full-speed monthly data, and up to 15GB of high-speed hotspot data.
Before this change, Xfinity Mobile offered three unlimited data plans—Unlimited Intro, Unlimited Plus, and Unlimited Premium. These plans started at $45, $55, and $65 for single-line service, meaning that current subscribers will save anywhere between $5 and $15 per line as they transition to the revised unlimited plans.
Note that Xfinity Mobile is an MVNO. It's affordable because it imposes some service restrictions and piggybacks off Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T spectrum. Other MVNOs, such as Mint Mobile, Visible, and Cricket Wireless, also undercut the "big three" carriers and restrict high-speed data or place limits on video streaming quality.
Xfinity Mobile isn't the cheapest MVNO. Other options, such as the aforementioned Visible and Mint Mobile, are about $10 cheaper per line. However, Xfinity Mobile may be the most cost-effective option if you bundle it with Xfinity internet or television service. You can get 300 Mbps internet service for $25 with a $40 Xfinity Mobile Unlimited plan, for example. Other ISPs that sell phone service, such as Spectrum, offer similar bundles.
Now's a good time to mention that Xfinity has upgraded its broadband internet speeds for low-cost plans. The upgraded speeds, while generous, appear to be a response to new FCC rules.
You can join Xfinity Mobile from the Xfinity website. If you're interested in joining a bundled plan, check the Xfinity Deals page, which also allows you to build a custom bundle.
