Checked my Xfinity account today under the "change plan" tab and saw an offer for 400 mbps for $30 a month with automatic payments and paperless billing enabled.
1. Log in to your Xfinity internet account
2. Click "change plan" tab at the top of the homepage
3. Click "View All Offers" in the next screen
4. On the offers page, uncheck "TV" or any other services in the "Build Your Package" section
Also available, 600 Mbps for $40 a month with automatic payments and paperless billing enabled.
Regular rate for the 400 mbps plan is $80.00/mo. Set a reminder for 11 months from now to check for new offers.
YMMV

Xfinity will not charge you twice or charge cancellation fee when you sign up for a new contract term. The next bill may be a bit wonky dollar amount wise, but that's because of the prorated bill for partial month.

The only offer for me is 50mbit for $69.99 or local TV + 100mb for $65, both on contract. I'm currently on 100mbit for $49. I could even cancel and sign-up on a new name for less. These offers are straight-up scams.
Every year I call to 'cancel' and ask for the same deal again. This is what it looks like when you have no competition.

To contrast.. I've ATT Fiber Giga line today and over a wireless connection, speed test shows 500+ mbps of download and 200+ mbps of upload speeds. Have had that for an year for $60/month.

I was thinking of signing up for Comcast 800mbps one for $60 (ATT deal credits were for an year only), but the Comcast upload speeds that are very relevant for zoom video calls, for example, concern me.
... snipped ...
It would be nice to have a real world idea of how often buying your own modem works out just fine and how often things go bad and folks end up back with Comcast's equipment.
Also, if in SF/Bay Area, it seems Sonic is finally expanding fiber services to more areas. I was about to renew Comcast but the building manager saw the Sonic installers 2-3 blocks away and they said they are expanding services in the next few weeks/months. So, I won't extend Comcast for now but give it 1-3 months and see if Sonic Fiber finally shows up. Their website still tells me 12 Mbit/s with two DSL lines is possible... what year was that again?
Let's hope for fiber optic soon:

Sonic will only come to areas where your power poles are accessible on city property. If your poles reside on private property, it will be too much work for them to get approval from all residents to allow them to perform the work necessary to provide service to that area.
Yikes. OK ty. Should probably see where im at these days with use then before making that jump.

My parents pay a rental for a modem/router combo and they would have paid it off by now and start saving money but they value the "insurance", and there is no-one around to quickly fix it. For folks a bit more comfortable buying their own modem it can save money, and some 4.5+ star devices reviewed by thousands should be a good indicator that they usually are pretty stable. Personal choice, but the rental fees seem to have gone up.
Thx. Ironically my current provider WOW (Wide Open West) just announced they re adding data caps this week after holding out for a while. Guess I have no reason to stick with em now.
400/10 = $50
800/15 = $60
1200/35 = $70
