12. They're Not Really

The xfinity mobile carrier is Verizon. I know the ISP is still Comcast, but the connection to the net isn't the same as the lines owned & operated by xfinity.
I've had all my "eggs" in that basket for years and have never had an issue with connectivity, even in storms where my power was out until I got my gen set going.
Of course, if I had a business need for connectivity, I'd most assuredly follow your advice.
But, for personal use, I think the risk is low.
