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.

If I use my wife's name for the new account, how will my current account be canceled automatically?
Xfinity ID I believe is the email and password you use to login(?) And each Xfinity ID, you can link multiple internet accounts, mobile accounts, TV/streaming accounts, etc.
So if you have two houses and both use Xfinity internet, I assume both houses' Xfinity "internet" account can be link to the same Xfinity ID(email/password) (?)
BUT for each house/home, what people mentioned is ONE home can only have ONE Xfinity internet account. So if someone create a NEW Xfinity internet account for that home, the OLD Xfinity internet account will automatically cancel once the new account/modem is activiated?? Your Xfinity ID won't be gone but the old Xfinity internet account linked to that Xfinity ID will be canceled because each home can only have one internet account(?)
I was on call with the rep for 40mins and he was able to activate the new account successfully and he said the old account would get disconnected after 24 hours.
I checked the speeds and indeed it is using the new plan.
Thanks OP for sharing the deal.

Is it cause by the Xfinity online chat support not activate the modem correctly? Or it is due to cable wiring section inside the house which only Xfinity provided Wifi modem can handle the faster upload speed but Hitron CODA56 can't handle it? After switch to 1000/1000 plan, the download speed get up to 900+ Mbps but upload speed of CODA56 still around 100+ Mbps.
Would getting another modem like ARRIS S34 (another Xfinity certified modem) help or would contacting Xfinity support to check the upload speed again help?
I followed your instructions and it worked flawlessly! You're the best. I ordered their modem but will use mine till I receive it. Do I just go online now and cancel the old account?
EDIT: I wonder if I can port in the existing xfinity mobile number when activating the new free line.
One easy way is use Incognito/private windows of browser to signup for the plan.
- After you type in your address and see this new internet plan (1 Gig internet for $50), continue checkout following new account steps.
- And when need to type in your info, just type the same info as your existing account like email, name, phone number, etc during checkout BUT DO NOT login to your account using login link with email/password at all.
- Eventually, because you type in the same email and phone number, etc, as existing account, it will ask to verify your account by either verify using the Xfinity App or send text message to your phone number, etc.
- And once you verify your info using something like text message, it will have access to your payment information in your existing account and let you continue and complete the check out (using the same payment info like Checking account/credit card saved in your existing email/user account).
May be other people can verify if checkout like this will actually works?
I think if you click on the confirmation email to check your account, you will see TWO Xfinity internet accounts associate with the same email login account.
After logout of the account on the website and the App, then try log back in again, when try to manage your internet plan, you can now select the newer Xfinity internet account to activate it and verify the internet account detail.
==============
Anyway, for existing customer that create a new Xfinity account and sign up for this 1Gig plan.
After activated the new 1Gig plan with the same bring-your-own modem from previous account/plan (confirm the download speed has increased with speedtest), will the old plan automatically cancel or need to contact support (with chat) to do something with the old plan/account?
