Overview
- Xfinity introduced two flat-rate plans Wednesday — Mobile Select at $30 and Mobile Plus at $45 — as a refresh of its wireless service for Xfinity internet customers.
- Mobile Plus folds in lifetime device protection and what Comcast calls anytime phone upgrades, and it includes unlimited premium data, 4K streaming, and hotspot speeds that slow after 50GB.
- Mobile Select offers 50GB of premium full‑speed data, 720p video, and a Global Travel Pass that works in 215 countries, and the lineup adds a $35 family plan for up to 10 wearables and tablets.
- Both plans include Wi‑Fi PowerBoost, which steers phones to Xfinity’s nationwide hotspots for priority speeds up to around 1 Gbps and uses Verizon’s 5G network when Wi‑Fi is not available.
- Comcast is dangling trials — a free Mobile Select line for a year or Mobile Plus for $15 per month — as it seeks to keep customers after many free lines expire later this year, and executives report 9.7 million mobile lines and say the unit is profitable.
