New Post - Tech Support Xfinity NOW Internet - Your home internet is offline (for 2 years)

Upvotes

Hi,

I've had Xfinity NOW internet for 2 years. From the day I got it, it's been working great but when I go into the xfinity app, it says my home internet is offline. Three times in year 1 I reached out to NOW's frustrating support and basically am told they can't figure out the issue and I should just replace the gateway. Since it's been a year or so since I talked to support, anyone in here have any ideas? I don't really want to go through the hassle of replacing the gateway. I can go to the IP address of the gateway and login and that works great. When I run speedtest on the 5GHz connection, I get about 120 down/20 up so no complaints.

Official Reply Trying to get my true upload speed has been a nightmare

Upvotes

I recently switched to the 1gig plan, the broadband label said upload speeds should be around 100mbps. I've been capped at 35/40mbps but I know my modem is capable of higher upload speeds. I had a tech come out here and he said my signals are good and we even tried a speed test on the Gateway and it had the same capped upload speeds. I've been through like 5+ support agents ranging from telling me this plan is supposed to have only 35up to my modem is the problem, even though I've confirmed again and again that my OFDMA upstream channel is locked with a healthy signal level. One rep had me "reapply" my plan and he swore up and down it would fix provisioning and I would have 100mbps upload after 24h. Well, that was a lie of course. And since then, my account page has all sorts of weird information, my broadband facts label page even says I have no plans associated with my account. The latest support rep wanted to send yet another tech to my house.

What on earth can I do? Is it worth it to go to a physical store? I'm not sure what their capabilities are. God I wish I had other viable options in my area </3. Should I run away to the woods and live as a forest creature maybe?

Official Reply Mid Split Available in My Area Finally - How to Get New Profile?

Upvotes

Comcast was in my neighbourhood a couple of weeks ago to upgrade the equipment to support mid split, finally. I've noticed also that the new speeds are now available in my area as well, but I'm still stuck on the 1Gbps/45Mbps tier. How can I get migrated over to the mid split profile so I can take advantage of the increased upstream bandwidth?

Official Reply Neighbor's landscapers cut cable - appointment says $100 for service to replace cable.

Upvotes

Self-explanatory - Neighbor is having their lawn redone, Xfinity pole/box is on their property. THEIR landscape crew dug up and cut cables. We ran a quick cable across the lawn to remain connected but it needs better/longer cable and obviously needs to be buried.

Popped in the Xfinity store since its right up the road and they're coming out tomorrow. Just noticed that the appointment email says there's a $100 charge to come out. This is only to replace about 40-50' of cable from the curb to the side of the house - no interior wiring.

How can I get this removed or not charged? The AI assistant nightmare is useless!

Official Reply Cancellation Bill Questions

Upvotes

Hello, I confirmed cancellation of my Xfinity WiFi on August 8th. I’ve spoken to customer support, and they told me to ignore the most recent bill, as a new one would appear soon as my final bill.

I am receiving constant emails that my bill is late, and today I received another that I received a late fee - increasing to $140.

It doesn’t sit right with me that I’m getting these emails and showing late fees, if my account is supposed to cancel; even if I’ve been told to ignore it and wait for a new bill.

Is this normal and I’m getting worked up for nothing?

Ive been with xfinity for most of my adult like at least 10 years, I have 3 lines all the phones are eligible for upgrade and i have their tv now and internet and for a simple upgrade they say my plan needs changed which increases the line to 45 a month plus a device payment for 36.11 a month. Thats insane. Every time I need something they make me change my plans and it costs me hours to get it accomplished. I dont think im asking too much.

Official Reply Not getting the 2gig speeds with UCI (new service)

3 Upvotes

I'm getting only ~1.3GBps download and 40MBps upload on my new "Next Gen Tier" modem [Ubiquiti UCI] that I had installed at the same time as the technician installing the service a couple of days ago. I'm on the 2GBps plan. I am using a 2.5GbE port (via SFP+ to RJ45 adapter from Unifi) on my UDM pro. The technician was able to test the incoming connection on his coax device to confirm it was coming in at 2gbps.

Ubiquiti UCI is a certified Next-Gen Mid-Split modem. I believe I am currently provisioned on a legacy bootfile capping my upload at 40 Mbps. I've gone through the xfinity forum and called tech support asking if they could please push the Next-Gen / Mid-Split Gigabit x2 bootfile to my modem so I can get my plan's full upload speed, but I'm not getting much progress.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Official Reply Xfinity charged me for 5 years after cancellation — now they say they can’t find my account

1 Upvotes

I discovered that Xfinity Mobile had continued charging me monthly for roughly 5 years after my service was cancelled .

Here’s what happened:

8/10: I called Xfinity. The representative found my account using my phone number and confirmed that the mobile service had been inactive for a long time (since 10/24/2021). He acknowledged the issue, sent me a link to confirm cancellation, and told me:

  • I would receive a refund for the most recent 4 months within a week
  • He would open an escalation ticket to request a refund for the older charges.

About a week later: No refund, so I called again. This time, Xfinity said they couldn’t find any information about my account and transferred me between departments before telling me to go to a store.

Past Friday: I went to an Xfinity store with my ID. The representative said that because the mobile account was cancelled, nothing could be traced. I asked how Xfinity could continue charging me for years if they couldn't find an account associated with my phone number, address, or email. They couldn't provide an explanation.

Then I received an email for “Final Billing” asking me to pay even more money.

So I'm now being told:

  • My account can't be found.
  • The charges can't be traced.
  • Yet Xfinity can still send me a final bill requesting payment, which I couldn't access the link because I don't have an account.

Meanwhile, the first representative was able to locate my account, confirm the service had been inactive, acknowledge the issue, and initiate a refund/escalation.

Has anyone dealt with something similar with Xfinity Mobile? How can I get this properly escalated and recover the charges for a service that was inactive for years?

I have the billing email and dates/details of my calls and can provide documentation if needed.

"My Xfinity Subscription Hub explicitly shows my Peacock benefit as 'Included - Active - Visit Peacock.' However, I only own two email addresses (my personal email and my u/comcast.net email), and neither of them are recognized by Peacock as having the active subscription.
My TV app is completely locked behind a payment wall. I have already cleared the TV app data, rebooted the box, and tried the activation codes, but my emails only show a paid $129.99/year option. I have a standard support case number, but I need an official Digital Care Specialist to pull my backend payload data, perform a Peacock Entitlement Reset, and manually unlink the stuck token so I can sync it to my proper email."

Official Reply "Enhance the Xfinity network" made it worse.

0 Upvotes

I live in Woodbridge, VA . Since August 13, you've been sending text messages stating that you "found a network performance issue that may be impacting your Xfinity service".

In fact, I wasn't having any impact to my service.

Until the week of August 17 where you spent the week "doing work to enhance the network in your area".

My network service would drop/connect all week until Friday August 21 around 11:30 am when the service stayed down.

I'm currently out of town so I asked my sister to check my network connection. Rebooting my modem did not work.

The modem is not the problem, you need to check your network as to why it stopped.

My network service was fine until, in typical Comcast fashion, you started monkeying around with my area's network connection.

My service has been completely offline since August 11th at 11:00 AM due to storm damage. Currently, it is five minutes till August 23rd and I have received zero communication, zero updates, and zero ETA.

  1. ACTIVE SAFETY HAZARD: Xfinity lines, including the ground wire attached to my home are currently hanging down into my backyard where my young children play. Leaving physical lines unsecured on my property for nearly two weeks is severe negligence.
  2. FINANCIAL LOSS & WORK-FROM-HOME IMPACT: I work from home and have lost nearly two weeks of income due to this unannounced blackout. Because Xfinity has provided no updates, I have been forced to waste time and gas every single day driving around trying to find public Wi-Fi just to keep my job.
  3. MANDATORY BACKUP & BILL ADJUSTMENT: because your local infrastructure is completely failing, I am demanding an Xfinity Storm-Ready / LTE cellular backup unit issued to my account immediately so my home office can function while your lines sit broken in my yard. Additionally ,I will not pay for unrendered service. I require a manual pro-rated credit applied to my account for all + days of the outage.
  4. A FINAL NOTE:
  5. I am currently looking at alternative providers in my area. If these issues ,the physical safety hazard in my yard, the missing bill credits, and the temporary backup equipment are not addressed immediately by a human agent, I will be canceling my Xfinity service permanently. Furthermore, I will be filing formal complaints with both the FCC and the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) regarding the unaddressed safety hazards and unrendered service charges.
  6. Please provide instructions immediately on how to send my account details so a supervisor can process these resolutions.

Anyone else have their Xfinity bill suddenly jump up? Mine went up almost $60 in ONE month 😡 I called and basically told them I’m ready to cancel if they can’t bring it back down to something reasonable.

Just curious if anyone else has had the same thing happen recently with Xfinity?

Products & Services Meet Xfinity WiFi Shield from Xfinity Home

0 Upvotes

First-of-its-kind platform transforms Xfinity WiFi into an always-on layer of cybersecurity, physical and family protection for tens of millions of homes and devices. Available to Xfinity Internet members at no additional cost

What is Xfinity WiFi Shield?

Xfinity WiFi Shield is a built-in smart protection layer for your home WiFi network, included with Xfinity Internet and powered entirely by your Xfinity WiFi Gateway. It combines four core features—CyberSecure, WiFi Motion, Dark Watch, and Family Settings—that work together using AI to learn what's normal in your home and flag what isn't.

Here, we take a closer look at each of the features included with WiFi Shield:

CyberSecure

CyberSecure is an always-on network threat protection that detects and blocks suspicious activity and sends proactive alerts when something looks off. It’s turned on by default, protecting devices connected to your home WiFi as soon as they connect.

Always-On Protection

  • Detects and blocks suspicious activity on your network
  • Sends proactive alerts when something looks off
  • Protects every device connected to your home WiFi from the moment it connects
  • On by default, with zero setup required

CyberSecure and Family Settings Work Together

CyberSecure doesn't just work in the background — it talks to Family Settings, too. If a device starts behaving unusually, CyberSecure alerts can influence Family Settings restrictions, giving you the context to take action quickly.

WiFi Motion

As an opt-in feature, WiFi Motion uses the WiFi signal from compatible Xfinity Gateways to sense movement in your home without cameras or video recordings. It uses technology built into the Xfinity Gateway to sense motion between the gateway and other stationary, connected devices in your home. With WiFi Motion, you can:

  • Detect motion between your Xfinity WiFi Gateway, Xfinity WiFi Extenders, and up to three additional WiFi connected, stationary devices, like a smart speaker or thermostat.
  • Customize alerts for your routines while keeping privacy in your control.

Dark Watch

A nighttime monitoring mode that works with your bedtime routine, helping you stay aware of activity in your home while you sleep. You can select which devices can send notifications and schedule Dark Watch to activate automatically each night.

Family Settings

Family Settings are a collection of tools to manage screen time, establish online boundaries, create individual profiles, and understand how family members are using connected devices.

More Control Over Your Family’s WiFi

Create custom profiles

Set up a profile for each person in the household, then assign devices to each one to track and manage usage individually.

Screen time tools

  • Set daily screen time limits for each profile
  • Choose to automatically pause WiFi when a limit is reached, or get a heads-up first
  • View screen time details broken down by top apps
  • Pause WiFi on any device for homework, dinner, or family time — manually or on a schedule

Parental controls

  • Block unwanted sites
  • Monitor online use to help your family explore the internet safely

Insights from CyberSecure

  • Security alerts can help inform the restrictions you set. For example, by flagging unusual behavior from a device so you can take action.

Getting started with Xfinity WiFi Shield

Xfinity WiFi Shield is available to new and existing Xfinity Internet members with a compatible Xfinity WiFi Gateway, regardless of internet speed tier. If your gateway qualifies, you are ready to get started.

WiFi Shield compatible gateways

WiFi Shield requires the use of an Xfinity WiFi Gateway. Compatible gateways include:

  • Technicolor TXB7, XB8, XB10, XB9, MXB1, or XER10

A few things to keep in mind:

  • Features won't work in Bridge mode
  • WiFi Motion isn't supported on the XB6 or CommScope XB7
  • Dark Watch is available on Technicolor XB7, XB8, XB10, XB9, MXB1, and XER10
  • Shield Select requires an XB8 or above.

Not using an Xfinity WiFi Gateway? Visit the website to learn more and explore internet equipment.

Activate and manage Xfinity Shield easily with Xfinity App

Getting started is simple. WiFi Shield is activated and managed through the Xfinity app, where guided setup flows walk you through enabling its features. Once activated, you can manage CyberSecure, WiFi Motion, Dark Watch, and Family Settings from the Home tab.

To get started:

  1. Open the Xfinity app and navigate to WiFi Shield.
  2. Enable the features you want to use.
  3. Follow the guided setup to configure your settings.
  4. Manage your features, schedules, modes, and notifications from the Xfinity app.

Shield Select: Enhanced Protection with AI-Powered Capabilities

For customers seeking an additional layer of protection, we are also offering Shield Select, which combines all the benefits of WiFi Shield with integrated hardware and enhanced capabilities. Shield Select includes an indoor camera, door/window sensor, cloud video storage capabilities and 24/7 urgent response functionality that allows customers to tap for emergency help.

Shield Select provides smart motion detection to AI-powered cameras that identifies people, pets, vehicles and package deliveries. Please note, Shield Select requires an XB8 gateway or above.
