Xfinity was also an attempt at competing against FiOS because consumers were getting to know that FiOS = speed in the Comcast hometown. If your neighbors have FiOS and you’re just a lame-o with Comcast cable, that is no bueno. Luckily I don’t have lame-o Comcast cable, I have Xfinity, the cool sounding thing that I once again don’t understand what it is so it can be whatever they tell me it is. Which is honestly a smart move for a brand, all things considered. Things wouldn’t stay cable forever.
