How to cancel Xfinity
Comcast Xfinity is a classic hard-to-cancel service: agents are trained to retain you. Check for an online option first; otherwise call, ask explicitly to cancel, and get a confirmation number and end date.

Cancel Xfinity step by step
- Sign in to your Xfinity account and check for an online cancellation option (available in some states), or use chat.
- Otherwise call Xfinity and ask for cancellation (not "account changes").
- Get a confirmation number and the date service ends.
- ⚠️ Return the modem / TV boxes at an Xfinity store or UPS to avoid equipment fees.
Good to know before you cancel
- Return the modem and TV boxes at an Xfinity store or UPS, and keep the receipt — unreturned equipment is billed.
- Promo prices often end after 12 months: that's when many people cancel or renegotiate.
- Moving? A transfer may be possible, but you can also cancel and start fresh elsewhere.

Re: Cancellation of subscription — account [your account number]
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to cancel my Xfinity subscription (account / member number [your account number]), effective immediately, or at the end of the current billing period if that is required.
Please stop all recurring charges to my payment method as of the effective date, and send me written confirmation of the cancellation, including the date it takes effect.
I am exercising my right to cancel under applicable state automatic renewal laws. Please do not condition this cancellation on a phone call, a retention offer or any other step.
If any equipment must be returned, please send me the return instructions; I will return it promptly.
If I am charged after the effective date, I will dispute the charge with my bank or card issuer.
Thank you for processing this request.
Sincerely, Jane Doe
