These hotspots are designed to help residents and emergency personnel stay connected, whether it's for video calling loved ones or receiving the latest safety information. The hotspots are available to everyone, not just Xfinity customers.
To access a hotspot, simply select the "xfinitywifi" network on your device's list of available networks, then launch a browser. Sign-in options will appear for both Xfinity customers and non-customers.
Comcast has made it easy to find a hotspot near you, with a map available on their website. Simply visit Finder.wifi.xfinity.com, enter your zip code, and zoom in on the interactive map for detailed information on hotspot locations.
The free hotspots are available in areas such as shopping districts, parks, and businesses. You can access the hotspots both indoors and outdoors.
In addition to the free hotspots, Comcast is also waiving overage charges for By the Gig Xfinity Mobile customers from October 9th through October 16th, 2024. This ensures that those impacted by Hurricane Milton can stay connected without worrying about additional fees for data usage.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has also launched a program called the Keep Americans Connected Pledge, in partnership with internet service providers. This program aims to open hotspots for free WiFi, waive late service fees, and prevent contract termination if customers aren't able to pay their bills at this time.
