When Should I Notify Xfinity of My Move?

When moving, it is best to schedule ahead of time. To make sure you have all of Xfinity’s services set up in your home on the day of your move, schedule or set up appointments at least four weeks before your moving date. 

Each move is different, but the major steps involved with changing your address with Xfinity are;

  • First, notify Xfinity of the time you intend to move and the place you intend to move to. You need to also tell them whether you plan to use your current subscription plan or change it.
  • Secondly, you need to determine if you’ll do a self-installation or a professional one.

It costs zero dollars when getting your self-install kit from Xfinity when you use standard shipping. This is not the case if you don’t have a self-installation kit and you are moving because then you’ll have to get professional Installation for an Xfinity technician, this usually is around the same price as the professional TV installation $89.99.

If you want to shorten the cost then you can pay $89.99 to install both the TV service and the Internet service at a go. If you are qualified and you plan to install them yourself, you can do that for just $15.00.

Equipment Fee for Xfinity Internet

The equipment fee for Xfinity Internet will only be applied if you have to change the type of installation at your new address. This new type of installation would therefore require different equipment. In most cases you can keep the same router and modem you previously had installed.

Many packages and plans have contracts with strict requirements. If you choose to cancel your plan with Xfinity and you still have a contract, you may have to pay a cancellation fee.

If you end your contract 2 months early, you will most likely not be charged. However, if you end your contract with Xfinity 10 months early, you will most probably be charged a significant fee.
