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.

However the wording is not very clear. I read the $25 fee is if you don't have other xfinity services active.
WAIT: I might be wrong. Just logged into my account and it does state something about having to get that line to continue "saving" on internet. That's messed up.

I found activation to be easier with their gateway and mobile app than with my own modem. I've given up on bringing my own modem if they keep offering theirs for free and I can put it in bridge mode. This used to be tied to unlimited data as well (which is a requirement for me) but it seems that's now just freely available (finally).
Worth switching now, since my current 2-year price guarantee is up in a few months, and I will have to inevitably deal with signing up again. Currently I've had autopay with a bank account but have been paying manually monthly with credit card. (Maybe that will still work?)
Just don't get sucked in to 36-month mobile bill credits. The free mobile line is only for 12 months and they no longer give an internet discount for having a mobile line (used to be $-40/month for 24 months which perfectly offset the $40/month mobile line cost, basically making the phone free plus taxes). And be very careful about porting your real number since they make it a pain to go in and out, you can treat it like a data line. It might work out for some people but it's mostly a trap. But if you really want Xfinity Mobile and are willing to stick around that long, it can be worth getting a new line promo. Even with $830 credit you'll still be paying $10+/month for 12 months and $50+/month for 24 months for premium unlimited. And being unable to unlock for 36 months (without forfeiting bill credits) is killer.
My area is:
$40 300/100 (this was $40 1-year and $55 5-year)
$45 500/100 (this was $55 1-year and $70 5-year)
$50 1000/100 (this was $70 1-year and $85 5-year)
$70 2000/250 (this was $100 1-year and $115 5-year)
I'm using their modem, but I put it in bridge mode and use my own router. This turns it into a modem only and prevents it from broadcasting the public wifi.
So now you can use your own modem and there won't be a data cap? I was still seeing a data cap when I was using my own DOCSIS 3.0 modem under the previous plan, which was 800mb I believe. I only upgraded a few weeks ago.
I just tried this. I am on the 1 Gig 1 year no contract. Trying to display the 5 year 1 gig just shows as current plan and wont let you select it....

Does the old service automatically cancel once you activate the new one? You don't have to contact xfinity to cancel?
Buuut if I can lock in 5 years of good price with Xfinity I still have two Docsis 3.1 modems (Arris S33 and a Netgear CM1200) that are both Docsis 3.1 - wouldnt that work just fine or is that old tech and I should be looking for something different?) I see the one you mentioned appears to be a Docsis 3.1 as well.

Your S33 and CM1200 won't take advantage of this, but this is only important if you're in a compatible area (not all areas are in the mid-split yet) and in higher tier internet packages (I have the 1.2gbps package, which gives me 100mbps upload instead of 35). But those 2 modems are still supported so all you'd have to do is plug them in and away you go.
But not all tiers or areas can support this "next gen speeds" so YMMV.
