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:
Your Xfinity Plan
Internet 300 Mbps $80.00 / mo
Download speeds up to 300 Mbps; Upload speeds up to 100 Mbps
Unlimited Data Included
$100 Virtual Prepaid Card Included
Xfinity WiFi Gateway Included
Autopay & Paperless discount -$10.00 / mo
5-Year Price Guarantee discount -$30.00 / mo
I think its just a mistake with old outdated info -- showed the same for me just now on the $40 plan but initial order page and order confirmation email showed correct info
Modem shipped out today from in state -- should be delivered tomorrow by FedEx

Picked up the gateway (XB8) from local store in the evening, plugged that in today using the old cox cable that was still left from prior installation. After about 10 min., gateway showed solid white light, meaning I had the internet working. On my phone, using speedtest I am getting 900mbps up and 110mbps down speed.
Then I started the free phone line activation online within my account. This again gave some error at the end, called them and they got the line activated for me. I transferred the number from Mint and it's now all working.
Happy to get this deal in the end ;-)
For once, my jaw is dropping at the level of service and ease xfinity has made getting into this deal, even for existing customers. No need to jump through hoops or create new account with pseudonyms or fake email address. Kudos to Xfinity.
They could stop the free line promo for new customers signing up for internet on/after Dec 17th or they could change the promo (right now its free for 300mb plan or higher)
