      Selecting an internet provider can be a tricky task, as it requires consideration not only of current plans but also of potential future changes. Unexpected price increases on bills are unwelcome, and now Comcast is providing more reassurance with a five-year price guarantee for its Xfinity internet service.

      New customers who enroll in Xfinity will receive a monthly rate that is fixed for five years, with no annual contract required, as announced by Comcast this week. Plans start at $55 per month and come with unlimited data at home, access to Comcast’s WiFi network, as well as additional features like parental controls and cybersecurity protections, all at the same pricing available nationwide in the US.

      This contrasts with the currently available $40 per month one-year pricing option, meaning the suitability of this five-year guarantee will depend on your long-term needs.

      The company states that it aims to provide clear and steady pricing for its services, alleviating one more concern regarding internet access for customers.

      “We're tackling two major consumer issues – rising costs and transparency – with outstanding value and straightforward pricing that is secured for five years,” said Steve Croney, Chief Operating Officer, Connectivity and Platforms at Comcast. “Our new price guarantee simplifies things, and when our customers also utilize mobile services, they benefit from the nation’s largest converged network, delivering gig speeds wherever they are.”

      Recently, Comcast also provided an internet speed upgrade for Xfinity customers, enhancing speeds by 50 to 100 percent at no additional cost, facilitating quicker downloads and superior streaming quality. Moreover, an ultra-low lag capability is being rolled out on Xfinity for FaceTime calls and certain games on Steam, which could significantly benefit avid gamers.

      **Apple is hoping your emails will fix its misfiring AI**

      Apple’s AI advancements have yet to generate the same level of impact as those from Google’s Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, or OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The company’s AI initiative, known as Apple Intelligence, has not significantly benefitted iPhone and Mac users, even leading to internal management struggles.

      User data might provide a solution for the struggling initiative. Earlier today, the company released a Machine Learning research paper outlining a new method for training its AI using data stored on iPhones, starting with emails. These emails will enhance features like email summarization and writing tools.

      **Trump’s upcoming tariffs could make PCs and laptops pricier**

      President Donald Trump is set to announce new tariffs on imported semiconductors as early as this week, marking a broader initiative to restore advanced manufacturing in the United States. As reported by Reuters, this decision is made amid rising trade tensions and may soon be accompanied by additional tariffs on smartphones, laptops, and other electronics.

      Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump stated that the objective is to reduce the U.S. dependence on overseas-made chips. “We want to manufacture our chips and semiconductors and other products in our country,” he remarked, underscoring the importance of reshoring critical components of the tech supply chain. “Flexibility is essential. No one should be overly rigid,” he added, hinting at possible exemptions for companies that fulfill specific criteria.
