Final take

Regarding Xfinity Internet, our suggestion can be summed up by asking two questions: Would you prefer having someone else handle technical support? If so, renting the equipment from Xfinity is recommended. However, if you want to save money, it is advisable to purchase your equipment. Xfinity's internet hardware is sufficiently powerful to support the majority of home Wi-Fi setups, providing a convenient "set and forget" option. Nonetheless, if you are willing to take care of your technical support or have a knowledgeable family member who can assist you, it is more cost-effective to buy your internet hardware rather than renting it from Xfinity.
