here's my experience

.i finally dcedied to try out the 'xfinity wifi' since it pops up as an 'available wifi' all the damn time on my phone

why not save my phone data right? all you gotta do is log in one time with your comcast credentials.

ok this was hands down the most miserable experience of my life

i left myself 'signed in' for about a week and what it did..was everytime i stopped at a red light and some random xfinity signal 'wafted through' my phone would turn off data and attempt to connect to xfinity

by the time it connected i was moving again and then any pandora or other streaming I was doing in my car suddenly cut off

gps went haywire while it tried to figure out if i was using data or wifi for my location

by the time it figured out the wifi was gone and reconnected to data..guess what? another xfinity wifi signal was in range

rinse rather repeat

so as a 'feature' of seamless login to the 'xfinity wifi network', i made my life miserable for a week until i flushed the wifi connection pairing.

useless. the end.

I haven't had that problem at all. I actually use it all the time.

You should already have a tasker profile to turn your wifi off when you get in your car.
