I was in the Bay Area a few weeks ago and was able to try out the Xfinity WiFi. It was actually really convenient being able to work from the small coffee shops in Berkeley and in the city. The speeds were awesome too, around 27Mbps down and 10Mbps up. Most places require you to pay for WiFi or the speeds are just throttled way too much (1.5Mbps/0.5Mbps). As long as your own service isn't being hindered by the Xfinity hotspot and your own network isn't vulnerable due to the additional piggybacking, I don't see anything wrong with it.
