Xfinity (Comcast customers)
Not quite RV related but many of us who have Xfinity internet use their guest hotspots when we travel. If you have one of their rental modems that provides that guest hotspot I recommend that you check your connection speed frequently. I generally got about 75% of the speed that I paid for.
I had a friend tell me it was the Xfinity modem and they intentionally throttle your connection speed. He had his own modem and demonstrated that he consistently connected at or above the speed that he was paying. I decided to buy a quality modem and guess what, I consistently connect at speeds higher than I am paying. Ditch the rental modem and buy a quality modem, you won't regret it.
