Message: [QUOTE="UCTitleTown, post: 3827883, member: 8796"] I had a two year bundled contract with Xfinity for cable, internet and phone (don't use, only to get best bundle price) and paid $156/mo. When the contract ended, I upgraded my internet speed and I had to turn in my old cable box and get the X1 box with voice remote. This was in December. My old box was super reliable. Since I got the new X1 box, my cable drops constantly for a few seconds at a time or sometimes longer. "But the new box is better......". Try watching an NFL playoff game and have the screen go blank on a key 4th and 1 play. For this shizzy service, I also get the pleasure of paying $30 more a month than I did on my last contract. In addition, I lost 5 years of saved movies that were on my old box DVR, the new DVR is much less user friendly, and the browse and search functions are much worse with the new remote. I should also mention that my first new X1 box had an error code they couldn't fix after 3 hours on the phone with tech support, so I had to go back to the Xfinity store and return it and get a new one (the one I currently have that sucks...) I was thinking of getting X1 cell service too, but this experience has turned me off for now. End of vent.... [/QUOTE]
