Call(888) 728-1255

Sky Select number: (888) 728-1255 | Monday - Saturday | 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. PST

Official contacts

How to reach Xfinity customer support and technical support

The right contact method depends on what you need. For an existing Xfinity account, go straight to Xfinity rather than a third-party comparison service.

Comcast is the company behind the Xfinity brand. If you search for Comcast customer service because you have a residential Xfinity account, Xfinity's official channels above are the right place to start. Sky Select is a separate business and has no access to Xfinity service records, technician scheduling, bill credits or account settings.

Outage help

Xfinity internet outage: what to check before calling

If your internet is down, first find out whether Xfinity has reported an outage at your address. A reported area outage and a problem with one home device can require different next steps.

  1. 1

    Check the official outage status

    Use Xfinity's outage map (opens in a new tab) or app. You may need to sign in or enter the service address to see local details.

  2. 2

    If no outage is shown, use Xfinity's guided tools

    Xfinity recommends checking basic power and cable connections and using its app or Xfinity Assistant for account-specific diagnostics.

  3. 3

    Restart only when appropriate

    Follow Xfinity's current guidance for your gateway or equipment rather than repeatedly power-cycling devices. A restart temporarily interrupts connected services; consult Xfinity's instructions, especially if you rely on its home phone service.

  4. 4

    Contact Xfinity if the issue continues

    Xfinity can review your account, provide service-specific updates, and advise whether further action is required. Sky Select cannot diagnose or repair the problem.

See Xfinity's official outage guidance (opens in a new tab), what to do when service is out (opens in a new tab) and gateway troubleshooting (opens in a new tab).

Can you request an Xfinity outage credit?

If you recently lost service, Xfinity says you may be eligible for an outage credit and that it applies one automatically when an account qualifies. You can also check eligibility in Xfinity Support (opens in a new tab) or with Xfinity Assistant (opens in a new tab). Eligibility is decided by Xfinity and isn't guaranteed. Sky Select cannot request or issue credits.

Bills & pricing

Xfinity Bill Increased? Know Your Options Before Switching

A higher bill can come from a promotional price ending, equipment or other fees, or a change to your plan. It helps to know which one applies before you decide anything.

With Xfinity, your current provider

Review your statement and ask Xfinity what changed on your actual bill, including when any promotional price ends and which fees apply. Only Xfinity can explain or adjust your account, starting from its official contact page (opens in a new tab).

With Sky Select, new service

If you would rather look at other providers, we can help you compare new internet service at your address. We cannot see or change your Xfinity bill, negotiate it, or tell you in advance what you would save.

What to compare on any plan

  • Total monthly price, including equipment and other recurring fees.
  • How long a promotional price lasts and what the price becomes afterward.
  • Installation or activation fees.
  • Contract, cancellation and return terms.

Prices, availability and terms vary by address. Confirm them with the provider before you order.

Speed & buffering

Slow Internet or Buffering? Compare What Matters

Wi-Fi inside your home and the internet connection coming into it are not the same thing. A weak signal in one room can feel like slow internet even when the connection itself is fine.

Xfinity's app and Assistant offer a connection test that can help tell the two apart. If you are still thinking about a new plan, these are the things worth comparing:

Connection type

Compare the kinds of service offered at your address, such as fiber, cable, home 5G or satellite, and what each one involves.

Download and upload speeds

Match speeds to what your household actually does: video calls, streaming, gaming and the number of connected devices.

Verified local availability

Availability and speeds depend on the exact address, so confirm what can really be installed where you live.

No provider can promise a faster or outage-free connection, and a new plan will not fix a weak in-home Wi-Fi signal on its own. The Internet Speed Guide explains how much speed different households tend to need.

Scope

What Sky Select can — and cannot — do

Can help with

  • Discuss and check eligible new internet service options for your address.
  • Explain advertised offer terms and what to confirm before choosing.
  • Walk through the steps for choosing a new plan.

Cannot do

  • Troubleshoot, repair or restore Xfinity service.
  • Access your Xfinity account details.
  • Negotiate an existing Xfinity bill or request outage credits.
  • Change or cancel an existing Xfinity account.
  • Guarantee speeds, future uptime, discounts or instant installation.
Switching from Xfinity

A practical path if you decide to switch

You do not have to choose a new provider because of one bad day. If changing service is already on your mind, this is a sensible order to work in.

  1. 1

    Check what serves your address

    Availability can change from one street to the next, so start with the address where you need service.

  2. 2

    Compare current terms

    Look at total monthly cost, when promotions end, equipment and installation fees, and plan terms.

  3. 3

    Confirm installation timing

    Ask when service can start, and consider keeping your current service until the new one is working to avoid a gap.

  4. 4

    Handle the exit with each provider

    Confirm cancellation, equipment return and final billing directly with Xfinity. Sky Select cannot cancel or change your Xfinity account.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Xfinity support, outages, and switching

For existing Xfinity account problems, contact Xfinity directly. For new-service comparisons, we may be able to discuss options at your address.

Is Sky Select Xfinity or Comcast?

No. Sky Select is an independent internet and TV comparison service. We are not Xfinity or Comcast and cannot access, troubleshoot, or change an existing Xfinity account.

How do I contact Xfinity customer service?

Use Xfinity's official contact page (opens in a new tab) to find the current phone, chat and app options for residential service. Sky Select is not Xfinity and cannot help with an existing Xfinity account.

Where can I check for an Xfinity internet outage?

Use Xfinity's official outage map (opens in a new tab) or the Xfinity app and check your service address. You may need to sign in or enter your address, and Xfinity also lists a text option (OUT to 266278). Status information comes from Xfinity, not Sky Select.

Is Comcast customer service the same as Xfinity customer service?

Comcast is the company that offers the Xfinity brand. Residential customers seeking help with Xfinity services should use Xfinity's official support channels.

Can Sky Select fix an Xfinity outage, send a technician, or get me a credit?

No. We cannot repair Xfinity service, book its technicians, or request or issue outage credits. Xfinity decides whether an account and outage qualify for a credit, so contact Xfinity directly.

My Xfinity bill went up. What should I do?

Start with Xfinity: review your statement and ask what changed, including when any promotional price ends and which fees apply. Only Xfinity can explain or adjust your account. If you want to look at other providers, Sky Select can help you compare new service at your address.

Are Xfinity alternatives available at my address?

It depends on your address. Providers and plans can change from one street to the next. Sky Select can help you check eligible new internet service options, and the provider confirms availability, pricing and terms.

What are the steps to switch from Xfinity?

Check which providers serve your address, compare current terms and total monthly cost, confirm installation timing, and then coordinate cancellation, equipment return and final billing directly with each provider. Sky Select cannot cancel or change your Xfinity account.

Can new internet service start immediately?

Not necessarily. Start dates depend on the provider, your address and installation scheduling, so confirm timing before cancelling anything. Switching also won't repair a current outage, and no provider can promise zero outages.

Can Sky Select cancel my Xfinity service?

No. Only Xfinity can cancel or change your Xfinity account. Comparing new options with Sky Select does not change or cancel it.
