I was invited to an influencer XfinityMoms event by Brett (ThisMamaLoves) and Xfinity at the Connecticut Home of Distinction in North Haven to learn about products and services. I received a gift bag for my attendance but all my opinions as always are my own.

We recently switched to Comcast for our phone, internet, and TV and surprisingly I haven’t had any complaints. My reason for switching was my internet would shut down at any given time. This was unacceptable considering I need my internet for work. When our Xfinity was set up, I didn’t ask questions I went on my way using the internet and watching the shows on TV that my husband and I record.

I’m not one to play around with gadgets, I know what I want and I do it. I really don’t have time to explore my other options. This is a huge mistake on my part. Imagine my surprise when I learned about all the “extras” I had. While sitting and hearing about the Xfinity APP I was like a kid in the candy shop. I must have said “You Can Do WHAT?” a hundred times.

Let’s recap what I learned I can do:

Xfinity My Account App

Pay My Bill- Ok this doesn’t sound like fun but it took me 90 seconds to go into my account and pay my bill on the app. I normally do it online but first I have to go find my password because I don’t remember it then since I usually can’t find I have to have my password emailed to me. Of course I don’t remember which of the 8 email addresses I used. Needless to say I can check my bill and pay it with ease now. Score for ME!

With the XFINITY My Account app you can pay your bill, manage appointments, view or edit your WiFi Network name or password, and troubleshoot your devices. No Lines. No Waiting.

The Remote

Who cares about a remote right? Well you will once you see the Xfinity voice remote! What I love about it is you don’t have to point it AT the TV, it lights up automatically when you move it, and you talk to it to tell it what you’re looking for. It’s my quick search now. When they told me about this beauty (they gave me 2 to take home) I decided I would go home and mess with my husband. Imagine your hubby watching a show and from the other room you talk to the remote to change the channel on him to something like shopping or a chick flick! I had it all planned and then I walked in and couldn’t wait to get it set up so I lost a great opportunity to get him! Score for ME!

With a mere tap, swipe, or shake of your smartphone, you can change channels and browse TV listings with ease. Plus, use voice commands to search for shows, schedule DVR recordings, and even get personalized recommendations.

XFINITY TV Go

There are shows my grandsons love to watch at my house and when they have to go home they can now finish watching them or watch them again and again after we download them on my ipad. Really you can download shows or movies and most important we don’t ever have to worry about missing football on Sunday! Score for ME!

Take your entertainment with you, anywhere you go. Watch thousands of XFINITY On Demand TV shows and movies on your tablet, smartphone or computer, plus stream your favorite sports, news, and kids networks live. You can even download TV shows and movies from Showtime, Starz, Encore and Movieplex to your mobile device and watch them when you’re offline.

XFINITY WiFi

I am a travel and beauty blogger and I hate when I have to pay for WiFi! Xfinity gives me the option to connect for FREE on any Xfinity Hotspot. This is huge because this goes for everyone in my house too! Score for ME!

Locate and get directions to millions of XFINITY WiFi hotspots in cities nationwide. Plus, enjoy enhanced security features at select hotspots.

Kids Zone

Kids Zone is perfect when the kids are old enough to look for the shows they want but you want to make sure they don’t get into inappropriate content. It allows you to pick your child’s age range so as they grow, their options can grow too. When you can’t be there to monitor what your kids are watching Xfinity has your back!
