High Speed Internet With Comcast XFINITY + $100 AmEx GC Giveaway

by 400 Comments

Disclosure: Post and giveaway sponsored by XFINITY, but all opinions are my own. Please see below for additional disclosure.

I’ve been fascinated by the internet from the first time it was introduced into my life. It was so fun talking with people around the world in chat rooms and checking to see if I had this new thing called “email”. These days the internet is so ingrained into our lives that we hardly give it a second thought. That is…until it’s running slowly or isn’t working altogether. Who can blame us? Slow internet interferes with school, work, and play. I work from home and internet is absolutely vital to the success of my business; I was reminded of this while recently traveling in the Bahamas when I found myself on an island with NO WiFi. Luckily there are services provided by Xfinity to combat dreaded slow internet and keep us moving at the lightning speed of technology.

Sure, it’s nice to get away and relax without being constantly tethered…but there’s a time and a place for everything! I prefer that it be MY CHOICE when I am offline, not just because I’m at the mercy of a bad WiFi connection.

It’s normal these days to have multiple devices connected to our in-home WiFi. I’ll often be working on my laptop, checking emails and social media on my phone – all while my family is also checking their emails, doing homework, or streaming television and movies on their computers, tablets and phones.

It’s very important that we maintain a high speed and have enough bandwidth to enable us all to accomplish everything we need to get done.

There are other amazing features provided by XFINITY too. Constant Guard is a security suite that keeps your online activity secured against identity theft, viruses, and more through Norton Security. I enjoy shopping online, banking, and other activities that include sensitive information that I want to make sure is safeguarded and I appreciate Constant Guard keeping watch. XFINITY also provides millions of hotspots to their internet customers. This is a fantastic service that allows me to sign into my account with my Comcast username and password to access hotspots wherever available rather than using my cell provider’s data and adding to my bill.

    Favorite tip: Picking up fast food before watching the College Football Playoff National Championship game tonight? If you can’t decide between fries or onion rings at Burger King, treat yourself with this tip: ask for a side of FRINGS.

    I like Ty So Fast on FB, I like the idea he shared on ketchup cups. I would have never thought of fanning them out, this would have saved us from using so many cups.

    My favorite tip is confusing the sensor of the thermostat to put out warm temperature. In Ty’s words :” … trick the sensor! Just place a cold pack on top of the device and it will trigger the heat in minutes….”

    I like this tip – No need for a fancy serving platter for the Big Game this weekend. All you need is a bowl and a glass. Just place the glass in the middle of the bowl, fill the glass with salsa and surround it with chips and voila: makeshift dip display!

    I left my tip on your Facebook page (which I liked), and I’ll leave it here: #1 tip: Water in a cup with a lid near the computer. All it takes is one spill.
