This is not fiber internet! Same old coax. Very asymmetric connection with 1gbps down but only 40mbps up
Top Comments
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.

Emailed the cart to myself a few days -- they sent a follow up email for $100 GC to complete my order using promo code GIFT100
Went with the $40 plan since 300mb down/100mb up is good enough -- currently paying Astound $44.xx for 300mb/20mb plan which I'll cancel (I'll switch back to Astound in 6-12mo for new customer promo)
Order confirmation email shows the GC:

Some comments here from people lamenting the use of RG6 cable from Xfinity. Fios Fiber has a much higher max speed rating. Fiber also allows symmetrical communication where cable does not. My Frontier installer noticed that my outside utility box had a CAT6 connector present in there. The connector led directly to my indoor media box originally put in by my builder. The installation was a no brainer for him. The cat6 feed went directly to my router. I now should upgrade my router, but my 6 year old router has been sooooo reliable. Don't want to unhook it.

I think this was because she had signed up within the last 45 days. I came across this post on Reddit from someone on the Xfinity Reddit team and it mentions being able to switch plans if you signed up witin the last 45 days. I wasn't able to do this in my account probably because I had signed up more than 45 days prior so I had to cancel and and open a new account in the spouses name.
Here are the specifics that were post in case it helps someone else out:
The Limited-Time Holiday Event 1 Gigabit deal for $50.00 is only available for:
*New customers.
*Existing customers who are moving or transferring service.
*Existing customers within 45 days of service activation who wish to make changes to their plan.
*Existing customers who have Xfinity TV, Xfinity Home, or Xfinity Voice customers without Internet.
*Upgradeable Bulk TV, upgradeable Bulk Home, and upgradeable Bulk Voice customers without internet.
