Your Rate (Xfinity 800 Mbps)
$0.119/Mbps
Optimized Rate (400 Mbps, own modem)
$0.138/Mbps
Note: $/Mbps is lower at 800 Mbps because you're buying more capacity — but 400 Mbps
is gigabit-fast for a typical household (4K streaming + video calls + smart devices).
The total bill is what matters: $95 → $55.

Market Context — Chicago Internet Plans
Xfinity's introductory promo on this account expired, pushing the 800 Mbps plan
to $79.99/mo. The 400 Mbps plan is available to this account for $55/mo
after adding a compatible DOCSIS 3.1 modem (one-time ~$80, breaks even in 2 months vs. the rental fee).
For a 3-4 person household with typical streaming and remote-work usage, 400 Mbps is
indistinguishable from 800 Mbps in daily use.
💡 Retention tip: Call Xfinity retention (1-800-934-6489) before canceling.
Reps typically offer $20–$30/mo promotional discounts on the spot to keep the account.
Ask specifically for the "loyalty discount" or "promotion renewal."

What To Do Next
-
1
Call Xfinity retention and ask for a promotion renewal
Dial 1-800-934-6489 and say "I'm thinking of canceling — I'd like to discuss my options." Retention reps can unlock promotions not shown online. Target: $20/mo discount on your current plan, or a price-match for the 400 Mbps tier at $55/mo.
-
2
Buy a compatible DOCSIS 3.1 modem (one-time ~$80)
The Arris SURFboard SB8200 or Motorola MB8600 are both Xfinity-approved DOCSIS 3.1 modems available for ~$80 on Amazon. Buying eliminates the $14/mo rental — payback in under 6 months. Return the Xfinity gateway the same day you activate your own modem.
-
3
Downgrade to Xfinity 400 Mbps online or in-store
Log into xfinity.com → My Account → Change Plan. The 400 Mbps plan is currently $55/mo for this zip code. For a 3-4 person household with 4K streaming and remote work, you won't notice the difference. Speed tests rarely hit 800 Mbps on Wi-Fi anyway.
-
4
Get a competitor quote from AT&T Fiber or T-Mobile Home Internet
AT&T Fiber 300 Mbps is available in most Chicago zip codes at $55/mo with no data caps and no rental fees. T-Mobile Home Internet offers a flat $50/mo with no contracts. Use a competitor quote as leverage when calling Xfinity retention — it's your strongest negotiation tool.
