Xfinity Mobile Improves its Family Plan Discounts
Xfinity Mobile fudges price comparison to T-Mobile
The chart Xfinity Mobile used in its press release has a glaring flaw:
T-Mobile charges $45/1 line for its Base Essentials plan, not $60. So Xfinity does NOT cost less for 1 line.
For 3 or 4 lines, the *regular* T-Mobile Essentials plan cost the same as Xfinity for 3 or 4 lines, $90* and $120. T-Mobile Essentials consistently has much better phone discounts than Xfinity short-term promotions.
Xfinity throttles data after 20 GB of monthly data use; speeds are reduced to a maximum of 1.5 Mbps download/750 kbps upload. During network congestion T-Mobile de-prioritizes Essentials data compared to its more expensive plans and again after 50GB/month.
*third line free promo has been running for more than 3 years.

Eh... the Base Essentials is not an "unlimited" plan, so that's not quite a fair comparison.
