Xfinity Internet is powered by fiber and connected to premises by coaxial cable
One drawback to this is upload and download speeds are not symmetric - the headline advertised speed is the download speed, but upload speeds are typically significantly lower. For example, looking at the Broadband Facts of the 1 Gig plan in my area, they specify typical download speed at 1170 mbps and typical upload speed at 117 mbps. In the past in different areas, I've seen advertised typical upload speeds as low as 20-40 mbps.
That may be perfectly fine for many people, in which case this is a good deal. But make sure to take a look at the upload speed for your area and confirm that it's fast enough for your needs.

I guess I should have tried to initially try a price match on the current account, but having dealt with Comcast for years it is just easy to cancel a account.
I was able to keep my Diamond status, so Peacock Premium will not turn off after 2 years and got the $50 gift card.
We already have an Xfinity XB8 which is working great but I really don't want to have to return that XB8 and pick up a new XB8 if I have to create a new account. Hopefully somehow I can keep our current XB8 via chat as it seems several folks here have had good success with the chat function.
I'll have to give the live chat a try. So may I ask what level and cost of service you had before? We signed up for the 5 year price lock (1) gig deal almost two months ago but at $65 and would love to get them to price match it to the $50 deal being offered now. We are using their XB8 modem and really would like to not have to hassle with cancelling our existing account and returning our current modem.

1. For anyone on the fence, this is a great deal if you don't mind putting up with Comcast. I'd highly doubt it will ever go any lower.
2. They don't have data caps on these plans anymore. It's unlimited.
3. If you can, use your own equipment (modem and router).
4. Get this 1Gbps plan and do not get the 2Gbps plan because 99% of people will not need that plan or be able to take advantage of it. And you might think, but we have gamers in the house and people streaming movies at the same time and so on...it doesn't matter. This plan is more than enough for that. If you get the other plan you're just going to throw away an extra $20/month.
5. You don't have to get their mobile line at all and I'd again suggest that you don't. Don't give them any power to overcharge/erroneously charge on things because it's what they do....all the time.
That may be perfectly fine for many people, in which case this is a good deal. But make sure to take a look at the upload speed for your area and confirm that it's fast enough for your needs.
Is a new email enough to create a new "account" while keeping all your other info (ie name/email/et al) the same?
