Xfinity vs. Verizon

We recommend installing your new Xfinity Internet first. Start by selecting your Xfinity Internet plan. Once you're up and running, call Verizon at 844-837-2262 to close your Fios account. For your mobile phones, the process is even easier: once we move (or "port") your existing number to Xfinity, your old Verizon mobile line will automatically close for you. We’ll handle the breakup for you so you don’t spend hours on the phone with Verizon, and take care of the technical piece to ensure your transition to our network is as smooth and seamless as possible. Tablets and smartwatches will need to be manually canceled. However, you can connect up to 10 cellular tablets and watches for $35/mo. Included with our latest plans. Excludes fees and taxes.

Switching gives you a double-win for your budget. You can save over $2,400 over five years on your home internet thanks to the Xfinity 5 year price guarantee. On top of that, you can cut your mobile bill in half just by moving your phone service to Xfinity. Plus, new Xfinity Mobile members can get their first Mobile Select line free for a full year—a $360 value that increases your first-year savings even further.

With Xfinity internet plans 300 Mbps and faster, you get:

• • 5 Year Price Guarantee
• • Reliable, fiber-powered home internet
• • No contracts or commitments — cancel anytime
• • Get online in minutes with same-day, self-install WiFi
• • New Xfinity Mobile members can start saving from day one with a free Mobile Select line for a year
• • WiFi equipment included
• • Unlimited data without slowing down internet speeds
• • Xfinity Gateway with Advanced Security and parental control features
• • Xfinity membership that starts from day one, including discounts and exclusives that refresh every week

With Xfinity Internet plans 1 gig and faster, you also get:

• • Peacock Premium for 3 years
• • Disney+, Hulu bundle included

Verizon often requires expensive add-ons for features that Xfinity includes as standard. For mobile, while Verizon charges up to $12 per day for international travel and an extra $19 per month for device protection, Xfinity includes unlimited international travel in 215+ destinations on both Mobile Select and Mobile Plus plans. With Mobile Plus, you’ll also get lifetime device protection for your phone and every eligible tablet and smartwatch on your account. The perks extend to your home, too: Xfinity gig-speed internet plans include a free 4K streaming box. Plus, you get Peacock Premium for 3 years and the Disney+ and Hulu bundle—an extra $24/mo entertainment value included for free with gig plans. This gives you significantly more for your money than Verizon.

The primary difference is the cost, flexibility, and total value Xfinity provides — especially for modern, multi-device households.

 

• • Speed: Both offer fiber-powered multi-gigabit speeds, but Xfinity includes WiFi PowerBoost to provide speed boosts up to a gig at home and on the go across millions of hotspots.
  
  
• • Reliability: While both offer wired internet and 5G mobile networks, Xfinity goes further by seamlessly integrating over 20 million secure WiFi hotspots nationwide. This ensures your devices automatically connect to the strongest, most reliable signal available wherever you go, keeping you connected even in places where cell service might struggle.
  
  
• • Pricing & Contracts: Xfinity features no annual contracts and a straightforward 5-Year Price Guarantee that isn't locked behind our most expensive 1 Gig tier—unlike Verizon, which requires their highest speed for a 5-year lock.

No. You’ll enjoy the freedom of no annual contracts, giving you the flexibility to change your plan or cancel anytime without an early termination penalty. Instead of locking you in, we provide long-term budget certainty through our 5-Year internet price guarantee, allowing you to enjoy a reliable, locked-in rate with total flexibility.

Absolutely. You can keep your existing number and either bring your own device (BYOD) or purchase a brand-new phone from us. Bringing your own device is the fastest way to switch — you can even activate in minutes via eSIM. Plus, new Xfinity Mobile members will qualify for one full year of Mobile Select for free, making your first 12 months of service $0 for that line.

Xfinity makes budget certainty simple with a straightforward 5-Year Price Guarantee on most internet plans (300 Mbps and above). In contrast, Verizon’s price locks are tiered by speed: they only offer 3 years for 300 Mbps and 4 years for 500 Mbps, requiring you to pay for their most expensive 1 Gig plan just to get a 5-year lock. With Xfinity, you get that full 5-year peace of mind at much more affordable speeds, all while saving 50% on your mobile service.

Xfinity Internet does not have data caps as many of the most popular internet plans (300 Mbps and above) now feature unlimited data as a standard feature of your Xfinity Internet. This allows you to stream 4K video, attend endless video calls, and game online without ever worrying about a threshold or overage fees.
