Xfinity's main customer service number and what it covers

Xfinity's general customer service line is 1-800-934-6489. This number handles billing questions, service issues, account changes, and new orders for cable, internet, and phone service. Wait times vary by time of day and season — calling early morning on a weekday typically means shorter holds than evening or weekend calls.

When you call, you'll reach an automated system first. It will ask what you need — billing, technical support, new service — and route you accordingly. Having your account number or the phone number associated with your account ready will speed up the process, though the system can look up your account by address if needed.

Xfinity also operates separate lines for specific issues. If you're calling about internet or TV service that's down, the same 1-800-934-6489 number handles it, but selecting the technical support option will move you to a technician faster than the general queue.

Technical support and service outages

If your internet, TV, or phone service is down, call 1-800-934-6489 and select the technical support option. Xfinity's technical team can run remote diagnostics on your modem and router, walk you through troubleshooting steps, or schedule a technician visit if needed. Most outages are resolved within a few hours, but you can check Xfinity's outage map on their website to see if the problem is widespread in your area.

When you call about a service outage, the system will often tell you when ready whether an outage is known in your location. If it is, you don't need a technician — service will return automatically once the outage is fixed. If it's not a known outage, the technical support team will help you isolate whether the problem is with Xfinity's network, your equipment, or your home wiring.

Billing and account questions

Call 1-800-934-6489 and select the billing option to discuss your bill, set up autopay, change your plan, or dispute a charge. Xfinity's billing team can also tell you about current promotions or bundle discounts you might not be getting. Many billing questions can also be handled through the Xfinity My Account app or website without waiting on hold.

If you're being charged for a service you cancelled or believe there's an error on your bill, have your most recent bill in front of you when you call. The billing team will need specific dates and amounts to investigate. Disputes typically take 30 to 60 days to resolve, and Xfinity will credit your account if they find an error.

New service orders and upgrades

To order new Xfinity service, upgrade your internet speed, add TV channels, or change your package, call 1-800-934-6489 and select the new orders or upgrades option. You can also order online through Xfinity.com, which often shows available promotions and lets you compare plans side by side without speaking to anyone.

When you call to order, have your address ready so the representative can check what speeds and packages are available at your location. Installation is usually scheduled within a few days, and a technician will set up your equipment and test your connection. If you're switching from another provider, Xfinity can often schedule installation to begin the day after your old service ends.

Cancellation and service suspension

To cancel your Xfinity service, call 1-800-934-6489 and ask for the retention department. Xfinity will often offer discounts or promotions to keep you as a customer — if you're leaving because of price, mention that before you confirm cancellation. The retention team has authority to adjust your bill or add services at no charge for a limited time.

If you need to suspend service temporarily rather than cancel — for example, if you're moving and won't need internet for a few months — the same team can set that up. Suspension typically costs less than cancellation and keeps your account active, so restarting service is simpler when you're ready.

Alternative ways to reach Xfinity

If you prefer not to call, Xfinity offers support through their website chat, the Xfinity My Account mobile app, and social media. Chat and the app can handle many routine questions — checking your bill, restarting your modem, scheduling a technician, or viewing your account details — without waiting on hold. Response times for chat are typically 5 to 15 minutes during business hours.

You can also visit an Xfinity store in person if you have one near you. Store staff can help with billing, service changes, equipment issues, and new orders. Store hours vary by location, so check Xfinity.com to find the nearest store and confirm it's open before you go.

What to have ready before you call

Before calling 1-800-934-6489, gather the following information to speed up your call: your account number (found on your bill or in the My Account app), the phone number associated with your account, your service address, and a description of what you need. If you're calling about a billing issue, have your recent bill in front of you. If it's a technical problem, have your modem and router nearby so a technician can walk you through steps if needed.

If you're calling from a phone number different from the one on your account, the system may ask security questions to verify your identity. Answering these questions accurately will move you through the queue faster than being transferred to verify your account later.
