The short answer

When an Xfinity one-year promo ends, the price moves to the everyday rate: about $80 a month for 300 Mbps and $110 for 1 Gig at the address we checked, against $40 and $60 on the promo. The five-year price guarantee ($45 and $70) avoids the jump. To lower a higher bill, turn AutoPay and paperless back on, ask to move to a current plan, and ask the retention team for an offer.

Xfinity prices: promo vs. regular

Xfinity sells two kinds of new-customer pricing: a one-year promo and a five-year price guarantee that costs a little more. Behind both is a much higher everyday rate.

300 Mbps$40$45$80
500 Mbps$50$60$95
1 Gig$60$70$110
2 Gig$90$100$140

What happens when the promo ends

When a one-year promo ends, the bill moves to the everyday price for your plan. On 300 Mbps that is roughly a $40 jump, and on 1 Gig about $50. Losing AutoPay with a bank account or paperless billing adds another $10.

Pay a little more now

If you plan to stay, the five-year guarantee costs $5 to $10 more a month than the one-year promo but avoids a $40 to $50 jump in year two.

How to lower your bill after the promo

These steps work in order; most people get somewhere by step three.

  1. Check your bill. Find your plan name and when the promo ended. Our guide to the Xfinity price increase explains the common line items.
  2. Turn AutoPay and paperless back on. That alone is worth $10 a month.
  3. Ask to move to a current plan. Many existing customers can switch to a plan with the five-year guarantee.
  4. Ask for retention. Say you are thinking of canceling. Retention teams can offer credits or lower rates.
  5. Compare other providers. See what else reaches your address before you accept the higher price.

When to switch instead

If fiber reaches your address, it often costs the same as Xfinity's everyday price with faster upload. 5G home internet from T-Mobile or Verizon has fixed prices for several years. See how to cancel Xfinity if you decide to leave, and our guide to what happens when any internet promo ends.

Questions

How much does Xfinity go up after the promo?

On current plans with a one-year promo, the price can jump from $40 to about $80 for 300 Mbps, or from $60 to about $110 for 1 Gig, at the everyday rates we found. The five-year price guarantee avoids that for five years.

What is Xfinity's regular price?

Xfinity doesn't print the regular rate on its plan labels. A live quote in Houston in October 2026 showed everyday prices of $80 for 300 Mbps, $95 for 500 Mbps, $110 for 1 Gig and $140 for 2 Gig, with AutoPay. Rates vary by address.

Can I get the promo price again?

Often. Call and ask to move to a current plan with the five-year guarantee, or ask the retention team for an offer. New-customer deals usually need a new account, but moves to current plans are open to existing customers in many areas.

Does the five-year price guarantee cover everything?

It covers the internet plan price. Taxes, fees, TV and add-ons can still rise, and losing AutoPay and paperless billing adds $10 a month.

When does Xfinity's current offer end?

Xfinity listed its October new-customer offer as ending Oct 25, 2026. New offers usually follow.
