In the coming year, the Streampix service will significantly increase the breadth of entertainment choices for Xfinity customers and be available on additional devices such as Xbox 360 and Android-powered devices.
Streampix will be included as part of many Xfinity triple-play packages, Blast!+ and Blast! Extra video-high-speed Internet packages, as well as separately for $4.99 a month with other digital packages, and enables the company to have greater flexibility with packaging and bundling options.
