Behind the BastardsOct 3, 2026
The post's claim that subscribers can lock in one WiFi price for five years, guaranteed, is supported by Xfinity's own page (published 2026-10-14) describing a 5-Year Price Guarantee on select internet plans, and by a 2026-09-28 review site and a 2025 CNET article describing the same guarantee.
Our two reads of who says this, and how, disagree, so it counts as the post's own claim.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
