Xfinity Stream of live TV has NOTORIOUSLY low quality video.

Xfinity Stream of live TV has NOTORIOUSLY low quality video. This has always been the case, for YEARS.

On top of that, Xfinity seems to be the ONLY major TV provider that does not allow MLB TV customers to watch in the MLB TV app during nationwide coverage, including all playoff games. 

We pay Xfinity for high speed internet

We pay Xfinity for TV

We pay MLB for MLB TV

And I'm in-home, on my Xfinity internet, having paid three-times over for access to this content, and the streaming video quality looks like REALLY BAD 720p (probably actually 480p) and it still buffers. 

I know Xfinity is aware of this "and looking into it" for YEARS. 

I HATE Xfinity. If there was ANY other internet service available to my house I would leave Xfinity in a HEARTBEAT - I send quarterly requests to another ISP/TV provider begging them to run their service down my street.

I can simultaneously run four 4k YouTube videos on the same system, no quality loss, and no buffering, but you intentionally provide the worst possible stream (and label the channel "HD")

Non-live streaming isn't much better, it looks like mid-quality 720p when it says it is "HD"

Oh, and can you chat online with an agent? NO.
