Comcast's NOW prepaid internet and phone plans go nationwide after successful trial

Following the trial that began last month, Comcast has now gone nationwide into the prepaid game with NOW, a new way to get internet and phone service without all the usual hassles. Think no contracts, no credit checks, and prices that won't break the bank.

NOW Mobile isn't your average prepaid phone plan. Comcast figures that we already use Wi-Fi for most of our phone-related stuff anyway, so what they've done is hook their service up to Xfinity's large Wi-Fi hotspot network. This move allows for better connectivity as well as making their plans much more affordable.

If you need internet at home, NOW Internet could be a solid option. Comcast says that what sets NOW apart from other 5G home internet plans is that it relies on Comcast's existing cable network. That often means more reliable speeds and a smoother connection overall. Plus, you get unlimited data and a setup-ready gateway included.

NOW also facilitates you being in control of your plan. You can easily sign up, pause, or cancel your service online or through the app, without having to deal with pushy sales reps. This whole NOW lineup (which also includes streaming TV and on-the-go WiFi passes) is, is built around giving you choices.
