ESPN Unlimited authentication with Xfinity account?

So there's nothing that can be updated as to when, if ever, this will be possible? Absolutely ridiculous that other large providers like DirecTV, Hulu, and now YouTube do allow it, and Xfinity has signed a new contract with ESPN to allow it, but it's still not available. 

We have not seen any information showing that can be added through our service. The new premium tier, ESPN Unlimited, provides access to ESPN traditional linear sports channels without a pay TV subscription. Currently, you would need to subscribe through ESPN for the option. You can view any ESPN channels you are subscribed to with your Xfinity TV package in the ESPN app with your Xfinity credentials. 

I wasn't asking a support question for "how" to add ESPN Unlimited. ESPN has stated that people that subscribe to traditional cable providers would be able authenticate to the ESPN Unlimited through those providers. The article from Awful Announcing says that there was a new carriage deal reached between ESPN and Xfinity. So my question was about when this will be provided. It was worth a shot to ask, but I'm really not surprised that Xfinity employees that respond to questions on this forum are not privy to that information.     

Currently, there is not a confirmed timeline or internal update on when (or if) authentication for ESPN Unlimited will be supported through Xfinity credentials. I know that’s disappointing to hear, especially since you’ve already done the research and were hoping for something more concrete. If we had a rollout date or a status update to share, we’d absolutely pass it along @user_9df387.
