Key takeaways:

• Comcast’s California Xfinity customers can now get WiFi connectivity the same day they sign up

• New Xfinity Internet customers in Sacramento, Fresno, and Stockton can have an Xfinity Gateway delivered right to their doorstep, while customers across California can choose same-day pick-up at more than 80 Xfinity Stores statewide

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – June 16, 2026 – Comcast’s Xfinity today announced the rollout of same-day WiFi equipment (Gateway) delivery for new Xfinity Internet customers in Sacramento, Fresno, and Stockton, giving California residents a faster, more convenient way to get online, often within hours. And, for the first time, all customers can opt to pick up their WiFi equipment in-store the same day they sign up. With this news, Xfinity becomes the first wired major Internet provider to offer same-day WiFi connectivity, redefining how quickly customers can get connected and up and running at home.

California issued more than 100,000 housing permits in 2025, reflecting continued demand for new housing and connectivity across the state. For new residents setting up their first home in the state, getting online quickly isn't a luxury – it's a necessity. With today's launch, Xfinity is addressing that need directly, giving Californians the ability to go from sign-up to connected in a single day.

“In a world where almost everything is instant, home internet shouldn’t be an exception,” said Eric Jagher, SVP & GM Connectivity at Comcast’s Xfinity. “With Xfinity’s same-day WiFi we’re giving customers access to the nation’s fastest, most reliable connectivity the moment they need it. Packed with multi-gig speeds, powerful in-home WiFi, cybersecurity and parental controls, and a network built to keep up with today’s connected homes, Xfinity makes it easy to get online right away whether you’re moving or starting fresh.”

Connect to the Nation’s Most Reliable WiFi Day One

Here’s how same-day WiFi works:

1. Sign Up: Sign up for Xfinity Internet at Xfinity.com. Eligible customers select same-day Gateway delivery during checkout.
2. Set Up: An Xfinity Gateway is delivered directly to their doorstep within hours. Customers can simply plug-and-play their device to get up and running.
3. Start Up: Customers self-install and activate service in minutes through the Xfinity app. They can immediately connect devices, personalize their WiFi settings, and manage their home network.

Customers also taking one of Xfinity’s Entertainment offerings can get immediate access to their favorite shows and movies through the Xfinity Stream app. Once service is activated, customers can log in and start watching.

Built on The Nation’s Best WiFi
Xfinity Internet delivers fast, reliable WiFi that the modern household needs to support hundreds of connected devices simultaneously – from 4K streaming to hybrid work, video calls, smart home devices, AI-powered applications and cloud gaming.

Comcast continues to invest in connectivity and communities across California, including the opening and renovation of Xfinity store locations in Visalia and Fresno to meet customers where they are and provide a convenient, hands-on retail experience. Across the state, Comcast is also partnering with local leaders to extend high‑speed, fiber broadband infrastructure into underserved areas – from rural communities like Elmira and Woodland to larger expansion efforts in Kings County – helping connect thousands of residents and businesses to reliable Internet. These local investments build on Comcast’s broader multibillion‑dollar commitment to technology and infrastructure across California, alongside continued nationwide product innovation, including enhanced Xfinity Internet, mobile and streaming experiences designed to deliver a simpler, more seamless connectivity experience for customers.

At the center is the Xfinity Gateway, delivering multi-gig speeds, ultra-low lag connectivity, seamless wall-to-wall coverage and a best-in-class cybersecurity protection that automatically blocks threats at the Gateway level. Customers also can control and customize their in-home WiFi experience in the Xfinity app, where they can set advanced parental controls, onboard new devices and more.
