$750 will be the termination fees or switching cost to Comcast customers.
T-Mobile is also offering 5G Internet for $25 per month for a limited time this holiday season, as part of the promotion called Make Xfinity Your Ex. T-Mobile’s 5G Internet is offering unlimited T-Mobile Home and Business Internet – targeting unhappy Xfinity customers.
Comcast has raised Xfinity internet prices by 3.8 percent.
