Comcast Xfinity adds same-day delivery for instant Internet access

Comcast is launching same-day Xfinity Wi-Fi that saves you from waiting for your new router. Starting today, new Xfinity customers in nearly 20 markets — including Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Nashville, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and more — can receive the Xfinity Gateway devices they need to get online the same day.

Eligible customers can choose same-day Gateway router shipping at checkout after signing up for Xfinity Internet services and have the devices delivered to their door “within hours,” according to Comcast. Customers can automatically set up the devices to activate the service through the Xfinity app and get online right away, instead of waiting days without internet.

“In a world where almost everything is instant, home Internet shouldn’t be any different,” said Eric Jagher, chief communications officer at Comcast’s Xfinity. “With Xfinity same-day Wi-Fi, we’ve given customers the fastest and most reliable connectivity in the country when they need it.”

Comcast says its Xfinity service is now “the first Internet service provider” to offer same-day Wi-Fi connectivity and that it plans to expand the service to all areas where Xfinity is available “early next year.” Prospective Xfinity customers who are not currently eligible to receive Gateway at their door on the same day they sign up can also collect same day from 700 Xfinity stores across the US.
