Xfinity will always be Comcast to me. Not sure why they tried to rebrand.

I mean it was the same with Meta and we still call it Facebook to this day. Renaming a brand just doesn’t work, when it’s already established…

They tried to rebrand because they had incredibly low customer satisfaction rating associated with Comcast (I wonder why?). I worked for that horrible company during the rebrand and they told us as much. It actually did affect consumer perspective positively (because people are morons), so much so that Time Warner Cable and Cablevision followed suit a few years later rebranding their services respectively to Spectrum and Optimum.

In a weird way, some Zuckerberg haters love calling it Meta because that more closely evokes the enbarassing metaverse / VR crap they’ve been so into. Facebook was an incredibly successful website but Meta is a joke.
