Moving but staying with family can I pause service for 6 months?

Hello. I'm hoping a Comcast/Xfinity person can help me.  My situation is this:  I'm moving on May 31 2022. I currently have an Internet plan, but I don't want auto billing to continue.  I will be staying with family for at least six months.  What options do I have?  Can I put the service on pause and then when I'm in my own place have it started again?  Do I pay a penalty to end service early?  Can someone reach out to me as I don't want auto billing to keep billing me during this time.  I will be in a Comcast city and I want to be able to have the same plan. Please can I talk to a comcast person on this forum. thanks

Hello @drummer408, thank you for reaching out for help with your account and services. You have reached the right team for support with all your Xfinity needs. As someone who enjoys loyalty with the same company, I can appreciate your need to keep your account active while you are away. If you are moving out from your current home, and will not be activating at your new home within 30-days, you will need to close your active account and start service in the new location you speak of. In regard to any termination fees you will pay a penalty if you are in an agreement at the time you close the account. All Xfinity equipment will need to be returned as well to avoid unreturned equipment fees. You can simply log into your account, and under the billing section, you will see options to turn off your auto payment. I also included direction here. I can help process changes if needed. Let me know.

@XfinityBrandon​ thank you for your answer. [Edited: "Language"] I will have to pay a penalty.  Can you help me to have the account closed on May 31or before the next billing  and have a final bill issued to me and tell me how much the penalty is? I still need Internet thru May 31. Too bad you cant pause for an extended time, especially when I have all intentions to use it again.  Please help me cancel the service and billling. thanks Xfinity Brandon

Absolutely; let's take a look! Can you please send us a private message, including your full name, and your full address? You can do so, by clicking on the chat icon, in the top right hand corner of your screen, and once you click on that icon, you should be able to search "Xfinity Support", which should then give you the ability to send us a message. Thank you in advance, and I look forward to speaking with you!

Just a clarification so you'll understand why you have to cancel.  An account/account number is not "tied" just to a person, but also to a residence.  So, if you transfer your service you're actually assigned a new account number.  But, if you move completely without transferring your service, then you have to cancel.  So, that's the reason in a nutshell.
