I got tired of my previous internet provider. I noticed Xfinity wifi was available at my house. I signed up.

They asked me to either rent a router or bring my own and do self install. I have done neither.

I use the Xfinity wifi. For over a year now. No complaints.

Wiring every house in a dense area seems weird when you can just go wireless.

That just means you have very low standards. Wi-Fi is half duplex and the latency spikes are ridiculous.

I do I suppose. I just want my files to download, send, and my websites to load. I don't play games or operate some kind of server from my house, so for me it works as well as the wired internet at my work.
