One in three Maryland workers now work from home at least part of the time. 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 meeting that moment, giving Maryland residents the ability to go from sign-up to connected in the same 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

On day one, consumers can connect to Xfinity Internet, which was recently ranked the nation’s most reliable WiFi with the most consistent quality, download speed, and video experience by Opensignal.i New customers now will have the option to choose from same-day pick-up at over 15 Xfinity Stores statewide or, if available, same-day Gateway delivery to their home. And, even before the Gateway arrives, customers have free access to Xfinity’s network of more than 23 million secure WiFi hotspots the moment they sign up.

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.

1. 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.

1. 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 community impact across Maryland, including the opening of an Xfinity store location in Baltimore’s Reisterstown Plaza that expands access to hands‑on support and the company’s latest products and services. In Centreville, Comcast is also expanding high‑speed broadband infrastructure, connecting more than 2,300 homes and businesses, with additional expansion underway across Queen Anne’s County to reach thousands more residents and businesses with reliable, fiber Internet. These local investments build on Comcast’s broader commitment to 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.
