Xfinity Mobile has introduced a new Premium Unlimited plan that aims to enhance the concept of “unlimited” by providing additional perks and features. The plan includes high-resolution streaming, 30GB of fast hotspot data per month, and the option to upgrade devices twice per year for customers who like to stay up to date with the latest phones. This plan is available now and costs an additional $30 per line on top of the required Xfinity Internet service.
In terms of data usage, the Premium Unlimited plan offers unlimited full-speed data, whereas the regular Unlimited plan throttles data speeds after 30GB. Additionally, the Premium plan includes 30GB of mobile hotspot data before speeds are reduced, compared to the Unlimited plan which offers slower speeds. The Premium Unlimited plan also allows for 4K resolution video streaming, as opposed to the Unlimited plan’s standard 480p resolution, and includes Xfinity Call Guard service for intercepting spam calls.
Xfinity Mobile utilizes Verizon’s network for 5G and 4G LTE access, along with its existing network of home and business internet service with modems that operate as public Wi-Fi hotspots. Both the Premium Unlimited and Unlimited plans feature WiFi PowerBoost, which automatically connects to Wi-Fi for faster speeds, up to 1GB. Xfinity states that over 90% of mobile data traffic occurs over Wi-Fi, and customers can benefit from faster speeds if connected to their Xfinity Wi-Fi at home with the XB7 or XB8 Gateway.
For customers who enjoy upgrading to the latest phones, the Elite Upgrade option within the Premium Unlimited plan allows for twice-yearly phone upgrades with a guaranteed new-device discount of up to $830 with an eligible trade-in. Additionally, Xfinity Mobile offers to pay up to $500 per line for as many as five lines to buy out existing contracts for customers switching from another carrier. This gives customers the opportunity to stay on top of the newest phones and technology trends.
In conclusion, Xfinity Mobile’s Premium Unlimited plan offers enhanced features and benefits compared to the regular Unlimited plan. With high-resolution streaming, 30GB of fast hotspot data, and the option for twice-yearly phone upgrades, customers can enjoy a more comprehensive and premium wireless experience. Additionally, the plan leverages existing Wi-Fi networks to provide faster speeds and connectivity, making it a compelling option for those looking for a robust and versatile wireless service.
