Need specific technical details on 2 Gig service Scenario

My current service includes Gigabit Plus Internet advertised at up to 1,300 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload, xFi Complete, X1 television with 185+ channels, More Sports & Entertainment, DVR service and multiple television devices. My current monthly bill is approximately $314.21.

A fiber provider has scheduled an installation at my home on September 22, 2026. I am evaluating whether to retain or upgrade Xfinity, use Xfinity as a backup connection, or eventually discontinue some services.

This is an information and quotation request only. Please do not change, renew, repackage, disconnect or cancel any portion of my account without my separate and explicit approval.

Please provide written answers and a case or reference number by Wednesday, September 16.
