Deal Details
I had 1-gigabit internet with Xfi Complete (for unlimited data) for a couple of years and was paying $115/month. I was tired of spending so much, so I called to decrease the plan or find any promotions. I got an upgrade to 2-gigabit with a 2-year contract for $88.

The 2-gigabit plan was not an option online.
Number I called: 1-800-934-6489
(I had to go through many menus to talk to a real person.)
Your mileage and availability may vary.

Note: I understand that I will not even be able to utilize 2-gigabit on most of my devices, but I plan to run some new CAT6 and get a 2.5Gb switch for my primary desktop.

I left Xfinity due to their constant price hikes and fluctuations. They also imposed data caps, which we frequently approached because of Netflix and other streaming services. I switched to Sonic Fiber with a 10 Gbps speed, which is only available in limited areas of Northern and Southern California. While it is the fastest internet available, my router only supports a maximum speed of 1 Gbps, so I can't fully utilize the speed they provide. Honestly, I'm not sure what we would do with a 10 Gbps connection. Anything beyond 500 Mbps is generally unnecessary for a typical household.

Oh and it is 50 bucks a month. 😂
Wouldn't this be beneficial in a mesh network setup? 🤔

The more bandwidth in means the more that can be shared.

They provide an all-in-one with a 2Gb port.

However I just put it in bridge mode and use my own stuff. Also, open up the modem case and disconnect the WiFi antennas, because there's no way to disable the WiFi even in bridge mode.
To turn off the Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspot on your modem, follow these steps:
  • Go to customer.xfinity.com/#/settings/security/hotspot.
  • Sign in to your account using your Xfinity ID and password.
  • Click Turn Off to disable your public hotspot.
  • Confirm your selection

Price seems decent for the speed but:

1. Comcast is absolutely horrible to deal with if you have issues or when you want to call to cancel because they hike the price 2x or more after the term ends.

2. What are people actually using 2 gig internet for? Netflix 4k stream requires 25 Mbps per instance so lets just round it up to 30 Mbps for good measure. 300 Mbps down will still support 10 simultaneous streams assuming 30 Mbps per stream. Like someone mentioned above the upload boost is nice, but if you have fiber in your area its usually symmetrical (for example 300 down/300 up). If you are backing stuff up to the cloud or sending out large files upload becomes a lot more important.
Heavy pc gaming users ..1 AAA game download is easily over 100 GBs now. I won't go back to cable though even if it's higher speed, fiber just has better latency and ping from my experience.

I used the online chat and brought up that new customers are getting 1 gig for 25 a month per their website advertising. I didn't get the 2GB plan, I was only on the 800 plan

I got the 1GB, and the price was $65/mo (after $10 autopay discount) and good for 24 months. So it seems like it is worth a try if you're paying more than that

https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/homeYou can use the ≥ +1000/100 filter and that should show it, I think. I can use it to see that I don't have 2gig but down the street it's available.I see....New customer pricing is $85 (12 months, no contract) or $90 (24 months, 1 yr contract term) and both include free modem and unlimited data and also 1 yr unlimited mobile line that usually costs $40/month.
excellent resource. nice to know the options and max speeds

Has anyone gotten a deal that is still under contract? My contract ends in another month or so just wondering if I should wait until the bill spikes or maybe they can do something now....

What does the price jump to after contract? This is what I pay right now for 800/35 so 2 years of 2gig for the same price is nice but would like to know what happens after.

I'm outside Seattle and paying ~$70 for 1.2Gbps down and 35Mbps up without a cap. AFAIK to transfer over 1Gbps to/from a single device using an Asus router I'll need to replace my GT-AX11000 with the Pro version or GT-AXE16000 (to get 2.5Gbps+ on WAN and LAN). That's the part that hurts. Increased upload will be a big bonus for Plex though, and won't require expensive new equipment.
