Viewing and Downloading Your Bill

If you need to see exactly what you are being charged for, you can easily pull up a detailed PDF copy of your statement. This PDF looks exactly like the paper bill you would receive in the mail.

Using the Xfinity Mobile App:

  1. Open the Xfinity app and tap the Account tab at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Tap Bill details.
  3. Scroll down and tap All Statements history.
  4. Tap the date of the specific statement you want to view. It will open as a PDF that you can save or share to your device.

Using the Xfinity Website:

  1. Go to xfinity.com and log in with your primary user ID.
  2. Navigate to Billing & Pay > View Bill & Transaction History.
  3. Click on the Bill Details screen.
  4. Under the "Current Statement" section, click Statement PDF to download or print your most recent detailed bill.

Rebooting Your Modem

If your internet is running slow, devices won't connect, or your service drops completely, restarting your Xfinity Gateway (modem/router) is the most effective first step.

Method 1: Using the Xfinity App (Easiest) You don't need to get off the couch for this method!

  1. Open the Xfinity app.
  2. Navigate to WiFi > View WiFi equipment.
  3. Tap on your Gateway.
  4. Scroll down and tap Restart > Restart Gateway. Your internet will go offline for about 10–12 minutes while the system reboots.

Method 2: The Manual Power Cycle If the app isn't working or your phone isn't connecting to the internet, do a hard reboot.

  1. Unplug the power cord directly from the back of the Xfinity Gateway or the wall outlet.
  2. Wait for one full minute.
  3. Plug the power cord back in securely. The lights will flash as it boots up, which can take up to 10 minutes to fully restore your connection.

Setting Up Automatic Payments

Setting up Autopay ensures you never miss a due date, and it often qualifies you for a monthly discount on your Xfinity bill.

Using the Xfinity Mobile App:

  1. Open the app and navigate to Account > Bill details > Bill settings.
  2. Tap the Autopay box (or Manage Autopay if it is already turned on).
  3. From here, tap Update Payment Method to change an existing card, or follow the prompts to add a new bank account or credit card.
  4. Agree to the Terms & Conditions and tap Set up.

Using the Xfinity Website:

  1. Go to xfinity.com and log in.
  2. Navigate to Billing & Pay > Manage Auto Pay.
  3. Select an existing saved payment method or click to add a new checking account or credit card.
  4. Check the box to agree to the terms and click Set Up.

Setting Up Paperless Billing

Going paperless reduces mailbox clutter and is often required (alongside Autopay) to get the best promotional pricing discounts on your account.

Using the Xfinity Mobile App:

  1. Open the app and navigate to Account > Bill details > Bill settings.
  2. Select Paperless billing.
  3. Review the email address listed to ensure it's correct, then tap Turn on.

Using the Xfinity Website:

  1. Log in to xfinity.com.
  2. Navigate to Billing & Pay > Manage Paperless Billing.
  3. Click Turn On and confirm your email address.

Adding Managers to Your Account

If you want a spouse, roommate, or family member to be able to talk to Xfinity support, manage the Wi-Fi network, or pay the bill, you need to add them as a "Manager."

Using the Xfinity Mobile App:

  1. Open the app and tap the Account tab.
  2. Navigate to Roles and permissions > Add someone.
  3. Enter their first and last name, email, and phone number.
  4. When asked to choose a role, select Manager and send the invite. They will need to accept the invite via email to create their login.

Using the Xfinity Website:

  1. Log in to xfinity.com.
  2. Click the Account icon in the top right corner, then navigate to Account and Identity > Account Details.
  3. Click Add someone new.
  4. Fill out their contact information, select Manager as their role, and click Continue to send the invitation.

Understanding Pro-Rated Billing

Xfinity utilizes "Advance Billing." This means they generate your bill and charge you for the upcoming month of service, rather than the month you just used. Your bill is usually generated 20 to 25 days before your actual payment due date.

Why this matters when we lower your bill: Because Xfinity generates your bill a month ahead of time, any changes made to your account today (like lowering your rate or removing an old TV package) will not immediately stop your current bill from charging the old amount.

If we secure a lower rate for you today, Xfinity will still charge you the previously generated amount on your upcoming due date. However, on your next billing cycle, your statement will reflect the new lower monthly rate and it will include prorated credits to refund you for the days you overpaid during the previous month.
