Astound vs Xfinity in Silverdale
Both offer 2,000 Mbps cable, but Astound costs half as much with far wider coverage, while Xfinity reaches under a third of Silverdale addresses.
Astound is the stronger pick for most of Silverdale: it matches Xfinity’s 2,000 Mbps download but adds symmetrical 2,000 Mbps upload, costs half as much at $20/mo, and covers roughly 91% of the city versus Xfinity’s ~30%.
