  I think they DID buy xfinity, then used the name because they were done wiping their ass with “comcast”. I only say this because I distinctly remember having both xfinity and comcast showing up as internet options on some old house listings.

    xfinity wasn’t an acquisition, it was just comcast rebranding trying to separate itself from the stank of comcast. It did occur during a time of acquisitions of other cable networks, but that’s been true of comcast for 15ish years.

      Ahhh, so it could’ve been a local acquisition changing their names on ads before Comcast finished the job, or maybe vice-versa somehow. Interesting.
