For families, students and teachers across the Greater Philadelphia Region, back to school season is here. No matter if you’re a parent preparing for your kid’s first day of kindergarten, a college student moving to your first off-campus apartment, or a teacher getting ready for a jam-packed year, Comcast can keep you connected.
Families with Kids at Home: Flexibility for Your Needs
While you’ve likely been able to spend extra time outside over the last few months, your screen time may increase as you return to a school schedule. Multiple kids doing homework on their personal devices, a parent working from home, and the whole family streaming a Friday-night movie can mean you need something different from your plan.
Xfinity Internet offers a variety of options – whether you need basic Internet to research for that book report, or the fastest speeds for streaming or gaming during brain breaks, there’s a plan to fit your needs and budget.
Back-to-school also means the return of after-school activities. If your kids need to call for a ride home from practice, consider Xfinity Mobile to stay connected with nationwide coverage and flexible plans that let you mix and match data options for each family member’s usage.
And when the homework is done, your family can turn to Xfinity X1 for all their entertainment needs. Whether your content is on TV or streaming, X1 makes it easy to search, find, and watch what you love – across multiple screens.
College Students Living Off-Campus: Fast, Reliable and Affordable Internet at Home and On the Go
For many university students, back-to-school means move-in prep – furniture, school supplies, and new tech. If you’re living off campus, that checklist needs to include an Internet connection that can handle all of the devices each roommate will bring. By rooming with Xfinity Internet, your in-home connection can be powerful enough for you to focus on what matters.
As a student, you’re also often on-the-go. Xfinity Internet and Mobile customers have free, unlimited access to millions of hotspots across the country in libraries, coffee shops, at transportation platforms, in stadiums and more. Customers can stay connected on the go with millions of hotspots nationwide, providing connectivity when you need a change of scenery for studying for the next big exam.
