Wow, Xfinity has a lot more to offer families than I knew! A big thanks to them for partnering with me to bring you this post. #XfinityMoms

I was super curious to check out what Xfinity offered as opposed to other cable and internet providers. There are so many cool things about Xfinity like the voice remote, the apps and the home security system. The first thing I noticed was that the guide has a feature for only kids. Besides that there are 3 things that really really attracted me to Xfinity and the parental controls. Here they are:

1. Parental Control by age: the reason I like this is because sometimes parental controls are too general. A 10-year-old doesn’t want to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and maybe Teen Titans is not appropriate for a 2-year-old. So the age category is awesome when you have kids of different ages in the house.

1. The parental controls can be set remotely. This is awesome because the parental controls are specific to different boxes so if the kids is in another television in the house that doesn’t have any settings yet, you can quickly set it up with your phone, without being obvious.
2. The ratings description: by far this is my favorite feature. Movies have all kinds of ratings but what do they mean to the parent? For example, if a movie is rated R, and it just says strong language a mild violence, what exactly is the language that is used. For example Deadpool (the movie) got a 3 out 5 rating for positive message, a 4 out of 5 in violence and 5 of 5 in language. Maybe you don’t let your 10-year-old watch sexy scenes but you don’t mind if he hears the F word 50 times…

Those were my favorite 3 things from a parent perspective of Xfinity. But as a mom I was also excited to learn about their home system. This system is AWESOME and I really wish I could install it in my house like yesterday. Not only is the whole thing wireless and work from your table of phone, you can basically control anything in your house from the thermostat to cameras. You can remote control some of the cameras. The one thing that stood out was the individual pass code to enter.

We were at the Lawrence store and it was beautiful, very sleek and inviting. In the time we were there learning about Xfinity, we saw actual customers come in and out. No lines, no waiting, just easy service.
