Xfinity is available almost everywhere in the US. In some areas, it’s the only cable TV and internet service you can get. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as Xfinity offers several excellent and relatively inexpensive plans and packages (and, let’s be honest, a few strikingly pricey ones).
Whether you’re going cheap or premium with your Xfinity service, we’ve rounded up four ways to save a few bucks on your monthly bill.
In an unexpected plot twist, Xfinity’s fast internet plans are great for streaming TV, which almost eliminates the need for standard cable TV (and clunky cable boxes).
Rather than fight streaming, Xfinity has embraced it with Flex, a 4K streaming device it offers completely free to new internet customers.
Like a Roku or Amazon Fire TV device (which can cost $30 to $120 or more), Flex supports paid apps like Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video—and Xfinity throws in a free subscription to Peacock Premium (ad-supported; regularly $4.99 a month) with it.

If you’re looking to splurge on an ultra-fast internet plan with channel-loaded TV service, some higher-end Xfinity bundles come with HBO Max, SHOWTIME, or Netflix included free.
For example, Xfinity’s X1 Premier Pro+ Double Play with HBO Max bundle comes with 1,000 Mbps download speed, over 220 TV channels (including NFL Network, NBA TV, and MLB Network), and free subscriptions to HBO Max and SHOWTIME included (a combined $26 savings per month).
Similarly, the X1 Premier Pro+ Double Play with Netflix includes the same internet and TV service, as well as free Netflix and SHOWTIME subscriptions (a combined $25 savings per month). Both of these bundles start at $129.99 a month for the first year, going up to $150 a month the second year.

Students attending select universities and colleges can take advantage of Xfinity’s student-exclusive online offers for internet and TV service (eligibility verification required).
In addition to the free Flex deal mentioned previously, verified students can receive a $150 prepaid Visa card and six free months of Amazon Music Unlimited.
If you’re a current member of the US military or a veteran, you could receive a one-time $25 credit toward Xfinity on-demand services or your next bill (eligibility verification required).
Also, if you’re a current member of the US military or a veteran who’s signed up for Xfinity service within the past 90 days, you could also receive a $100 prepaid Visa card.
The majority of Xfinity’s deals apply only to new subscribers, but current customers can sometimes get in on those deals by upgrading their service. Contact Xfinity customer service to find out if they’re amenable to upgrading your current service and applying a deal.
Xfinity doesn’t offer any discounts or deals specifically for senior citizens, but its Internet Essentials from Comcast initiative provides a low-cost option for those eligible for government housing assistance, Medicaid, SNAP, SSI, and other programs.
With it, you can get 25 Mbps internet service for $9.95 a month with no activation or equipment rental fees. Additionally, you’ll have free access to Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspots.
Though it’s primarily a cable TV and internet provider, Xfinity also offers wireless phone service through Xfinity Mobile. If you’re a current Xfinity customer and you switch from your current phone service to Xfinity Mobile and bring your own (compatible) phone, you can receive a prepaid $50 Visa card.
