Service Any Time, For Seven or 30 Days
Comcast today announced that Xfinity Prepaid Internet Service is
now available everywhere within the company’s service area. The
pay-as-you-go offering lets consumers sign up for Xfinity Internet
service and “refill” any time they would like, for either seven or
30 days. The Xfinity Internet service comes without a credit check
or annual contract and is available online, at select Xfinity
stores and participating Boost Mobile retail locations.

“This offering is all about providing customers a flexible and
predictable service that can accommodate individual lifestyles and
financial needs,” said John Dixon, VP, Consumer Services Group at
Comcast. “Our prepaid service gives people more control over
their monthly bills and lets families get easy Internet access for
their home whenever they want it.”
People who do not have a savings or checking account, what the
FDIC refers to as “unbanked,” might be especially interested in
Xfinity Prepaid Internet Service. Approximately 9 million U.S.
households were unbanked in 2015 and an additional 24.5 million
were underbanked, meaning they had a bank account but also obtained
financial products and services outside of the banking system.
Last year, Comcast formed a partnership with Boost Mobile, a
leader in the no-contract wireless industry, to offer customers a
point-of-purchase option to purchase Xfinity Prepaid Internet. In
addition, Boost Mobile customers receive a $5 discount on Xfinity
Prepaid Internet refills. Currently, there are more than 800
participating Boost Mobile stores in states including Pennsylvania,
Michigan, and Texas, and Xfinity Prepaid services are expected to
be available in more than 4,000 Boost Mobile stores across
Comcast’s footprint by the end of the year.
Consumers interested in Xfinity Prepaid Internet pay a one-time
starter kit fee that includes all necessary equipment, like a
wireless gateway, and 30 days of service. There are no limitations
on the number of times the service can be renewed and customers can
refill services on their own schedule. All pricing and package
options can be found at www.xfinityprepaid.com. Prices may vary at
retail stores.
Comcast expects to relaunch an Xfinity Prepaid Video Service
across the company’s footprint later this year as well.
