In this part of the video, the presenter conducts extensive testing of Xfinity Mobile against Verizon postpaid plans. Testing is done using an iPhone 12 Pro with Xfinity Mobile initially not connecting to ultra-wide band internet. The speeds and performance of both Xfinity and Verizon plans are compared, showing similar results in both download and upload speeds. Additionally, the performance is tested using Netflix servers through fast.com, and again, both plans show comparable results with Xfinity occasionally performing slightly better. Overall, the testing suggests that there is not a significant difference between Xfinity Mobile and Verizon postpaid plans in terms of speed and performance.

In this segment of the video, the speaker compares the performance of Xfinity Mobile and Verizon’s postpaid line, particularly focusing on 5G ultra wideband and LTE connections. Both networks show similar speeds and performance metrics, making it difficult to distinguish between them for everyday mobile use. The speaker notes that the differences between the two networks are minimal, even when switching from 5G to LTE, with only slight variations in speeds that would likely go unnoticed during regular usage.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses comparing video streaming capabilities between Xfinity Mobile and Verizon. Xfinity Mobile is capped at 3.8 megabits per second for video streaming, potentially limiting resolution to 720p or even 480p. Meanwhile, Verizon’s postpaid plan offers higher bandwidth, allowing for 1080p streaming. Testing through Nperf shows that Verizon outperforms Xfinity in terms of browsing and streaming speeds on LTE. The speaker suggests considering 5G upgrades as they become more prevalent for a better experience. Verizon’s LTE experience surpasses Xfinity’s in terms of speed and streaming quality due to Xfinity’s capped speeds. Testing both plans simultaneously on Ookla suggests that Verizon offers faster download and upload speeds compared to Xfinity.

In this part of the video, the speaker tests Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband against LTE and Xfinity Mobile. The test shows that under 5G Ultra Wideband conditions, the Verizon plan had a slight edge over Xfinity Mobile in terms of speed with 160 down 10 up compared to 148 down 7 up. However, the difference is not substantial and most users would not notice it during regular device usage. The video suggests that for typical user experiences, both plans are essentially the same, with differences becoming more apparent in areas like video resolution playback and deprioritization after 20 gigs on the Xfinity Mobile plan.
