Astound vs Xfinity in Naperville
Astound starts at $20 a month but reaches about 69% of Naperville, while Xfinity costs $40 yet covers nearly the whole city with a faster top tier.
Xfinity is the safer pick for most of Naperville: it reaches ~98% of the city, tops out at 2,000 Mbps where available, and posts a 96/100 speed score. Astound counters with a hard-to-beat $20 starting price and a strong 90/100 speed score, but its ~69% coverage means it isn’t an option on every block. Go Xfinity if you want the fastest tier or live where Astound doesn’t reach. Choose Astound if it’s available at your address and you want to pay less.
