Get Ready for Back to School with Xfinity in Florida!
As the summer comes to a close, getting ready for a successful school year is top of mind for most parents. While many are looking for the fastest computers and the latest gadgets, it’s important to also make sure your Internet connection delivers the speed, security and reliability needed to power your upcoming schoolyear.
Together with our local community partners, our Comcast and Xfinity teams will be on-site at multiple events to support families preparing to return to school. Not only will Comcast’s Team UP employee volunteers help with materials for parents and students, but Xfinity’s team of experts will be able to help answer questions and connect families to fast, reliable, high-speed Internet.
Check out a few of these events happening in the region, and chat with our team to learn more about Xfinity Internet, Xfinity Mobile and Comcast’s Lift Zones offering digital access and learning opportunities.
