Xfinity Mobile, Comcast Business Mobile, and NOW Mobile customers are being moved to premium data plans that use Quality of Service Class Identifier (QCI) 8. This upgrade will give users a better experience when connected to the cellular network, with faster speeds and less delay.
QCI 9 is usually the standard priority for regular data. When the network is busy, data marked as QCI 8 gets priority, leading to more stable speeds and less lag. This results in a smoother experience, with fewer interruptions when streaming videos and faster response times for apps that need quick interaction. Overall, it's a real upgrade for those users.
In case you missed the news, Xfinity Mobile also launched its new Premium Unlimited plan back in April, which has better features. One standout benefit is the option for customers to upgrade their phones twice a year. This perk includes a guaranteed discount of up to $830 when trading in an eligible device, which is great considering many phones have passed the $1,000 mark.
For those who love high-quality video, the Premium Unlimited plan allows 4K UHD streaming. The Premium Unlimited plan also meets the increasing demand for mobile hotspot data. Users get a generous 30 GB of 5G hotspot data, perfect for connecting laptops, tablets, and other devices to the internet when Wi-Fi isn’t available.
These Carriers Offer Genuinely Unlimited Data Plans
They say 'unlimited,' but what they mean is 'unlimited...ish.
After using the 30 GB, hotspot speeds are reduced for the rest of the billing cycle. The plan also includes advanced spam call blocking with Xfinity Call Guard. This feature helps users feel more secure when answering calls by automatically filtering and blocking unwanted spam calls before they reach the phone.
Saving money is a big part of Xfinity Mobile’s offerings. The new Premium Unlimited plan is designed to help customers save a lot, with those signing up for two Premium Unlimited lines potentially cutting their bill in half during the first year compared to similar plans from other major cell providers. To help customers see how much they could save, Xfinity Mobile provides an online savings calculator that gives a personalized estimate of yearly savings.
Another improvement across Xfinity Mobile services is Wi-Fi PowerBoost. This feature gives ultra-fast Wi-Fi speeds of up to a gigabit at home and in millions of locations nationwide. At home, when connecting to personal Xfinity Wi-Fi with a compatible phone, users automatically get a speed boost, no matter their internet speed, allowing smoother streaming, browsing, and online activities.
