Xfinity Deal: Save Up to $1,500 on Internet and Cell Phone Service

If Xfinity offers service in your area and you haven't been a customer in the past three months, you may be eligible for an incredible limited-time deal. Now through August 11, new customers can get Xfinity Internet and an unlimited mobile line for $35/month for the first year.

In this article, I’ll take a closer look at Xfinity’s current deal including what you’ll get for $35/month and what to expect when the promotion ends.

Get Xfinity Home Internet & an Unlimited Phone Plan for $35/month

Xfinity offers several home internet plans, and the selection may vary based on what's available in your area. Customers who do have Xfinity Internet are also eligible for cell phone service through Xfinity Mobile.

For a limited time (now through August 11) eligible new customers can sign up for Xfinity Home Internet's Connect More plan and get a free line of Xfinity Mobile Unlimited for a year. The promotional price for this deal is $35/month (plus taxes & fees) for the first 12 months. Paperless billing and autopay (using a stored bank account) are required to get this deal.

Here’s what you’ll get with Xfinity Home Internet’s Connect More Plan: 

• 300 Mbps download speeds
• 100 Mbps upload speeds
• 1.2TB of data included
• Free self-installation or $100 professional installation
• Optional modem or gateway lease: $15/month
• Optional xFi Complete: $25/month

Actual download speeds may vary. You can enter your home address and check the broadband facts labels to see the typical download speeds in your area. This is also a great way to see what the plan's price will be at your address once the 12-month promotion ends.

Additionally, here's what you'll get with your Xfinity Mobile Unlimited cell phone plan:

• Unlimited talk, text and data (30GB high-speed)
• Access to Verizon Wireless' network
• 5G+ typical download speed: 215-702 Mbps
• 5G typical download speed: 24-149 Mbps
• 4G LTE typical download speed: 9-69 Mbps
• Unlimited 3G mobile hotspot data
• Unlimited calls, texts and data between the U.S., Mexico and Canada (256 Kbps speeds in Mexico and Canada)
• Free global texting to over 200 countries

Let's take a closer look at the pricing: Xfinity's Connect More plan is available for $86/month in my area. According to Xfinity's website, this price can range up to $120/month depending on the area. Additionally, Xfinity Mobile offers its basic unlimited phone plan for $40 monthly (one line) plus taxes and fees. That means for Xfinity home internet (Connect More plan) and one unlimited cell phone line, your monthly bill could be $126-$160 without promotional pricing. This is the regular pricing range you can expect to see after 12 months, plus taxes.

With this deal, you’ll save at least $91-$125/month or up to $1,092-$1,500 over your first year of service.

How Does Xfinity Home Internet Compare?

If you aren’t familiar with Xfinity, it’s a Comcast-owned company that provides internet, television and phone service as well as home security services.

It's hard to compare home internet plans and prices directly because availability between providers and download speeds vary greatly from one area to the next. However, you can see the starting prices below from other popular home internet providers in addition to the plan's available speeds, data limits and equipment rental fees. 

The prices in the following table reflect autopay discounts and discounts for already having a cell phone plan with the company if available. These plans include both traditional home internet plans as well as fixed wireless internet plans.

To compare, Xfinity’s current deal costs $35/month (first 12 months) for typical download speeds of 300Mbps and up to 1.2TB of data. Plus, this deal includes a free unlimited mobile line.

When it comes to other new-customer offers, Spectrum advertises a similar deal: $49.99/month for the first 12 months with home internet (speeds up to 300Mbps) and one unlimited mobile line (30GB high-speed data). After the first year, regular rates resume: $87.99 for home internet plus $29.99 for one unlimited line ($117.98/month). These rates are very close to Xfinity's $126-$160/month regular pricing for similar home internet and mobile services.

How Does Xfinity Mobile Compare?

Xfinity’s current deal is excellent for new customers (anyone who hasn’t had Xfinity services in the past 90 days) who are shopping for cheaper home internet and cell phone service. However, after the 12-month promotional period ends, both services will return to regular rates. For one unlimited phone line, that price will be $40/month.

Xfinity Mobile uses Verizon Wireless to provide service to cellular customers. Compared to other Verizon Wireless MVNOs, Xfinity Mobile's unlimited plan is available for a decent price with a fair amount of high-speed data.

Here are a few of our other favorite Verizon MVNOs with similar plans:
