Does Comcast Xfinity Offer Any Discounts?

If you’re not currently an Xfinity customer, chances are there’s a deal waiting for you—or one on the way.

Comcast regularly makes limited-time offers for new customers—but they change depending on where you live. So, your best bet for finding an Xfinity offer you can use is to search for internet, TV, or bundles with your address. (If you don’t mind a few extra emails, you can sign up for Xfinity deals emails, too.)

And if you’re more of a face-to-face kind of person or prefer to call an Xfinity representative, be sure to ask what deals they can offer you while you’re on the phone or in the store.

We also regularly feature the latest Xfinity offers in our list of the month’s best internet deals, and we stay updated on Xfinity's TV and Internet bundles, along with offers from other internet service providers (ISPs). This is a good way to see what special offers are out there to get a leg up on negotiating a good price.

For example, until May 1, Xfinity is offering its Connect plan with doubled download speed for one year, valid for all US regions as well as TV and internet bundles.
