But which Xfinity bundle is best for you? It probably depends on where you live, what channels you want, and what internet speed you need. Let’s take a peek at your Xfinity Wi-Fi internet plus TV options in terms of price, channel count, and download speeds to see which bundle ticks all your must-haves.

If you’re shopping for an Xfinity Wi-Fi internet, and TV bundle, here are some things to look out for. For example, if you’re in the Central US and eyeing that cheap X1 Performance Starter Double Play bundle, its 25 Mbps download speeds won’t be enough for a large family with adults who work from home and kiddos who like to play Xbox. And we have a feeling that same family might want a few more channels than the 10+ that come with the bundle to keep everyone entertained too. So don’t just automatically go with the lowest price. Make sure you get the channels and internet and Wi-Fi speed you want as well. You’ll want to look for any specific channels you absolutely must have on Xfinity’s channel list. Otherwise, here’s a quick peek at some of the popular channels you’ll see in different Xfinity bundles. In general, we recommend the following download speeds based on how many people are in your home:
1–2 people: 40–100 Mbps 2–4 people: 75–300 Mbps 4+ people: 500+ Mbps
But you’ll also want to consider what everyone does online. Here are our general recommendations for common internet activities:
Working/studying from home with video calls: 100+ Mbps Using home security cameras: 100+ Mbps Streaming 4K video: 75+ Mbps Gaming: 40+ Mbps for most games
We’ve also created an internet speed guide to help you wade through the lingo and land on the right speed for you.

It also features download speeds of 600 Mbps, which is enough to keep a large family gaming and streaming all week long. Score! For about $110 a month, you’ll get ESPN, AMC, The Disney Channel, Fox News, HGTV, MSNBC, and Investigation Discovery. Plus download speeds of up to 600 Mbps that’ll support a large household as they game, work, and learn online. A little something for everyone at just over $100 a month.

It also serves up at least 115 more channels than the Choice Double Play bundle, making it an easy pick if you enjoy channel surfing.

Otherwise, the Superfast Internet + Ultimate TV bundle with up to 800 Mbps download speeds is suitable for most families—and it costs about $120 a month. So if you need top-notch speeds, the Gigabit Extra Internet + Choice TV bundle offers the cheapest price. But if you’d also like to mix in some cable TV channels, the Gigabit Extra Internet + Popular TV package might be more up your alley in terms of value. But if you prefer to save a little money at the expense of speed, the Ultimate Double Play bundle should still support a home business or large family.
