ATT fiber internet recently came into my area. I decided to switch to it, but was initially hesitant cause I had an Xfinity TV/internet bundle with 2 cable cards (in Roamios). I had read that ANY kind of change to your service will then make the cable cards stop working.
I need to keep the Xfinity TV for a project that involves recording local and public access channels on my TiVos. I was afraid switching my plan would kill my TiVO cable cards, but after dropping my Xfinity internet AND switching to the Xfinity "choice" TV package, all still works on my TiVOs. This move cut my monthly bill dramatically.
Now, it may be my area or I just got lucky, but I did also adamantly verify several times with the online rep that my cable cards would still work with my TiVos. I even got a chat reference number and copied the whole chat thread in case I needed it for future reference. He kept insuring me my TiVOs would still work & so far they have. My AT&T fiber internet works fantastic too. I'm sure it has to do with being a current Xfinity customer, but just passing this info along in case other "current customers" are hesitant. Also just make sure to get ANY kind of documentation backing up their claim that your TiVos will still work
What was also kind of interesting was that when I went to return my Xfinity modem at my local office, another customer was in front of me doing the same thing and returning his xfinity modem cause he got ATT fiber. I read that Xfinity is now BLEEDING internet customers as well as TV due to many other choices; Fiber, satellite, Tmobile/Verizon home internet, etc.
