Frontier vs. Xfinity 2022 comparison

Frontier vs. Xfinity internet

Regardless of which Frontier internet service is available in your area, Xfinity is likely to give you more plan options. Available speeds and pricing will vary, but Xfinity typically presents six or seven plan options with speeds ranging from 25 to 3,000 Mbps. 

Frontier Fiber comes with fewer plan options than Xfinity, but offers choices of fiber plans from 500 to 5,000 Mbps. On the other hand, Frontier Internet may have only one DSL plan to choose from as this service is limited to whatever speeds are available at your address.

In general, if you can get Frontier Fiber at your address, it will provide faster upload speeds than Xfinity, but its DSL plans are usually on the slower side. Xfinity has some of the fastest download speeds in the country, but its upload speeds are usually lower, which could be a problem for activities like online gaming.
