Last week,  in the quiet suburban town of Wynnewood, PA a group of bloggers came together to hear about the newest features that Xfinity had to offer. Let me just same that they are truly amazing.  We heard about everything from home monitoring to their newest features which include mobile service.

Available Now to 10 Million Xfinity Internet Customers At No Extra Charge

The one feature that really excited me was xFi. It’s a Wifi profile feature where you can create a profile for everyone in you home.  As a mom, I love this! Here is a snippet from the press release,

PHILADELPHIA – May 8, 2017 – Comcast today launched Xfinity xFi, a new and personalized Wi-Fi experience that provides a simple digital dashboard for customers to set up their home Wi-Fi network, find their password, see what devices are connected, troubleshoot issues, set parental controls and even pause Wi-Fi access on their home network during dinner or bedtime.  xFi gives customers unprecedented visibility and control over one of the most important technologies in their home. 

So I love the upgrades they made to the home monitoring system. They blend in seamlessly with the decor of any home. Xfinity took care to make them pretty. Long are the days where you had those ugly black cameras in your home and let’s not forget about the sensors.

The sensors are almost diamond-shaped and blend into the room nicely.

Now let’s talk Mobile Service, I am a blogger, a photographer and Social Media Strategist and self-proclaimed Data Whore. I LOVE MY UNLIMITED.  For me, this was Christmas Day all over again.

XFINITY MOBILE (via Xfinity)

Xfinity Mobile is a new wireless service, with Internet and data at the center of the experience.

Xfinity Mobile is the nation’s first wireless service combining America’s largest, most reliable 4G

LTE network with Comcast’s 16 million WiFi hotspots to provide customers with a better

wireless experience, for less money, on today’s most popular devices.

Features include:

•  Simple, straightforward data options with no line access fees.
• Save money by paying only for the gigabytes of data that you use, or consume all the cellular data you want for one set price
• Auto-connect to one of the many Xfinity WiFi hotspots throughout the City and Nationwide
• Personalized customer support including 24/7 customer support via text message, hundreds of retail store locations for in-person demo and care, and 24/7 support available from dedicated Xfinity Mobile call center support.  (Now, I PERSONALLY like going into a store and seeing people, I like human interaction but I work from home many days and this gets me out of the house but you my dear reader may like the 24 support, it’s awesome when you have trouble at 9pm and the kids are asleep.)
• Flexibility for families to mix-and-match on an account so each person can choose the way to pay for data that makes sense for them
• No penalties for switching back-and-forth between data options at no cost.
• XFINITY Mobile app to easily manage your account in real-time.

This is wild! I have 2 kids and they are currently on prepaid plans,  with this new mobile data option I can pay per gig or go unlimited for there is no wastefulness. Although the mobile plan won’t be released until later this year it’s still good to know that I have options for the fall and new school year when they will be going to on school buses and activities.

Xfinity has teamed up with Netflix to make your viewing experience SOO MUCH BETTER  they are now offering seamless Netflix integration which means no changing inputs or remote controls.

 

Now let’s get to the good stuff too, Comcast is giving away an Amazon Tap to one lucky MadCris Ready.
