Good News for Current Comcast Internet Subscribers
Here’s a bit of good news if you’re a current Comcast internet subscriber.
If you are currently using Comcast as your ISP, the company is still offering its Xfinity Flex streaming device for free to current internet customers. With the Xfinity Flex device in place, you get access to 15,000 hours of TV shows and movies, including content from NBCUniversal’s new Peacock streaming service.
According to Xfinity, Flex users can add AMC+ for the $4.99 price. So you don’t need a Comcast cable TV subscription to get AMC+, just Comcast internet and their free Xfinity Flex device.
Again, we wouldn’t recommend switching to Comcast as your ISP or as a cable provider just to get AMC+. But if you’re already set up with Comcast internet, you might as well enjoy a free streaming device with free access to Peacock and cheaper access to AMC+.
