Yes, I posted because I wasn't aware of it being available. Had family members paying $70 a month with Xfinity for 150 down.

Maybe it was just me… but I didn't know they offered this option. Just trying to help others save some money.

Requires pre-existing coax installed if property has no lines or disconnected outside by another cable provider. Its self install only.

You would have to order postpaid service first to get lines installed then schedule disconnect and sign up for this it won't let you order with active address.

For existing subscriber interested in the deal, you can schedule cancellation of your service a week out (retention sometimes gives you the same new subscriber deal but not always) and call them to create a new account preferably under new name/phone and you can have any new subscriber deal. Repeat every year or whenever your discount expires.

My only issue with Xfinity is that I can't use my own modem and also not have a data cap. Silly stuff

My only issues include only offering competitive rates if you live in a service area of fiber, asymmetrical bandwidth, renting remote controls, dichotomous phone tree support, and teaching BMW how to bill extra for hardware the customer already has.

Important to note that this is prepaid and all-inclusive pricing ($30 flat which includes all taxes/fees... no Comcast price creep). $30 is $30 and not $30 + $10 fees.


I have a multi-WAN router and use this for backup connection and separately route all of my (isolated) IOT VLAN traffic through this connection. Router is also configured to automatically failover all other VLAN traffic to the Xfinity Now connection in the event our primary fiber circuit goes down.


Primary connection is 940/940Mbps Quantum fiber which has been stable for 5+ years (initially Centurylink, transitioned to Quantum branding).


Was curious to see how a very connected household (even our cat litterbox is on the IOT VLAN) and ran solely on the Xfinity Now 100/10Mbps connection for a full week. Zero issues. Can easily handle a pair of 4k streams (2 adult household). Latency is pretty good and no issues with gaming (WoW on PC and various PS5/Xbox Series X games). Actual throughput exceeded the advertised 100/10Mbps by about 10% (110/11Mbps was average via Ookla Speedtest to closest Xfinity speedtest server/node).

The only downside I see is that the modem is not great and cannot be swapped out; only replaced with same model AFAIK. It was simple enough to put it into bridge mode and assign WAN IP to my router, however. Even in the bridged mode the modem will broadcast/share 'NOW WiFi Pass' SSID which means anyone who subscribes to the Xfinity Now Wifi pass can consume your limited bandwidth and there is no way to disable that I've been able to find.


TLDR; for streaming, gaming, and scenarios where throughput isn't a huge requirement this is a more than adequate option.

Verizon was $95 for a gig. Can't wait to get off them.

The gateway goes up to 600mbps and the connection maxes out at 200mbps so wifi pass isn't making a dent as it doesn't eat into regilar bandwidth.

This is Comcast selling excess bandwidth to the unbanked. For unlimited this is good as usually it's $40-$45 at the best contractual rates, however I bet like MVNO's these are deprioritized when oversubscribed.
