Get Connected Within Hours with Same-Day Gateway Delivery or Store Pickup
Internet is essential for work, school, streaming, gaming, smart home devices, and staying connected with family and friends. But for many people, especially those moving into a new home or apartment, getting Internet service often means waiting days for equipment to arrive.
Whether you're relocating, setting up service in a new apartment, or simply need internet quickly, waiting to get connected can be frustrating.
Xfinity now offers same-day WiFi equipment delivery for eligible new Xfinity Internet customers in nearly 20 markets, making it possible to get connected within hours of signing up. Customers can also pick up an Xfinity Gateway the same day at more than 700 Xfinity Stores nationwide.
After receiving their Gateway, customers can self-install and activate service through the Xfinity app in just a few steps, helping them get online faster than traditional equipment shipping timelines. Customers can also access Xfinity's network of more than 23 million secure WiFi hotspots immediately after signing up, even before their Gateway arrives.
