BERLIN, CT – September 8, 2026 – Comcast’s Xfinity today announced the rollout of same-day WiFi equipment (Gateway) delivery for new Xfinity Internet customers across Connecticut, giving residents a faster, more convenient way to get online, often within hours. And, for the first time, all customers can opt to pick up their WiFi equipment in-store on the same day they sign up. With this news, Xfinity becomes the first major wired Internet provider to offer same-day WiFi connectivity, redefining how quickly customers can get connected and up and running at home. 

Xfinity is eliminating friction and transforming how customers get connected. With a simple sign‑up, eligible new Xfinity Internet customers can receive their Gateway at their doorstep the same day, unlocking access to the nation’s best WiFi almost instantly.  

Connecticut is among the top three most connected states in the country, with 96.3% of households connected through broadband and a computer, smartphone or tablet. For residents moving or setting up their first home in the state, getting online quickly isn’t a luxury – it’s the first thing on the list. With today’s launch, Xfinity is addressing that need directly, giving Connecticut customers the ability to go from sign-up to connected in a single day.  

“In a world where almost everything is instant, home Internet shouldn’t be an exception,” said Eric Jagher, SVP & GM Connectivity at Comcast’s Xfinity. “With Xfinity’s same-day WiFi, we’re giving customers access to the nation’s fastest, most reliable connectivity the moment they need it. Packed with multi-gig speeds, powerful in-home WiFi, cybersecurity and parental controls, and a network built to keep up with today’s connected homes, Xfinity makes it easy to get online right away whether you’re moving or starting fresh.” 

Connect to the Nation’s Most Reliable WiFi Day One 

On day one, consumers can connect to Xfinity Internet, which was recently ranked the nation’s most reliable WiFi with the most consistent quality, download speed, and video experience by Opensignal.ⁱ New customers now will have the option to choose from same-day pick-up at over 12 Xfinity Stores statewide or, if available, same-day Gateway delivery to their home. And, even before the Gateway arrives, customers have free access to Xfinity’s network of more than 23 million secure WiFi hotspots the moment they sign up. 

Here’s how same-day WiFi works: 

1. Sign Up: Sign up for Xfinity Internet at Xfinity.com. Eligible customers select same-day Gateway delivery during checkout. 

2. Set Up: An Xfinity Gateway is delivered directly to their doorstep within hours. Customers can simply plug-and-play their device to get up and running.  

3. Start Up: Customers self-install and activate service in minutes through the Xfinity app. They can immediately connect devices, personalize their WiFi settings, and manage their home network. 

Customers also taking one of Xfinity’s Entertainment offerings can get immediate access to their favorite shows and movies through the Xfinity Stream app. Once service is activated, customers can log-in and start watching.  

Built on the Nation’s Best WiFi 
Xfinity Internet delivers fast, reliable WiFi that the modern household needs to support hundreds of connected devices simultaneously – from 4K streaming to hybrid work, video calls, smart home devices, AI-powered applications and cloud gaming.  

Across Connecticut – including New London County’s Griswold and Jewitt City – Comcast continues to enhance its network with more than $536 million invested in technology and infrastructure over the last three years. Comcast also continues to invest in its retail presence across Connecticut, including the most recent Xfinity store openings in Milford and West Hartford to better serve customers across Connecticut. These investments are paired with continued rollout of Xfinity’s latest product innovations – from multi-gigabit speeds to advanced WiFi and mobile offerings – ensuring Connecticut residents and businesses have access to a powerful, seamless connectivity experience. 

At the center is the Xfinity Gateway, delivering multi-gig speeds, ultra-low lag connectivity, seamless wall-to-wall coverage and a best-in-class cybersecurity protection that automatically blocks threats at the Gateway level. Customers also can control and customize their in-home WiFi experience in the Xfinity app, where they can set advanced parental controls, onboard new devices and more.
