Xfinity Wifi On Demand passes are no longer available
I am a Comcast TV and Internet Subscriber. I have to Pro-Performance speed tier. 130 MBPS download. I was at the local pub last night where I have always been able to connect to their xfintiy hotspot using my login credntials. When I tried to connect last night I got a landing page that read "Xfinity Wifi On Demand passes are no longer available" Why am I getting this page ? I am a Comcast Internet subscriber and the main user on the account. Why do I need a pass for something I already pay for ? What gives ?

Apologies for any confusion we may have caused.
Xfinity has millions of WiFi hotspots throughout our service area to make sure you’re always connected. These hotspots give you fast, convenient WiFi and are free to Xfinity Mobile customers and eligible* Xfinity Internet and Comcast Business Internet customers.
On certain devices the web browser may serve a default start page, such as google.com, from the cache on your device instead of from the web. Please try refreshing your browser page, or try going to a new website, and you should get redirected to the Xfinity WiFi sign-in page.
If the problem persists, please check your device’s DNS settings are set to obtain the DNS server address automatically (typically found where your network or WiFi connections are located).
Troubleshooting General Xfinity WiFi Connectivity
Troubleshooting Secure Xfinity WiFi Connectivity
*Restrictions apply. Not available in all areas. Access to Xfinity WiFi Hotspots included with Xfinity post-pay Internet. Not available to Xfinity Prepaid customers.
If needed, you can purchase an Xfinity WiFi pass + by following the directions outlined here: https://www.xfinity.com/learn/internet-service/wifi
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I am having the exact same problem. I contacted customer service, and they didn't know what was wrong so they submitted a ticket. I am waiting for a call back.

Any word yet? The website now says Hotspots are only available to "Post" paid accounts, and not "Pre" paid accounts. still not very clear.

I FIGURED IT OUT! THOSE OF US WITH THIS PROBLEM NEVER WERE PROPERLY SIGNED INTO XFINITY INTERNET! WE WERE JUST USING THE FREE XFINITY WIFI WITHOUT REALIZING IT!
I FINALLY FIGURED OUT THAT I HAD TO USE THE HOME (NUMBERS) AND THEN ENTER MY PASSWORD. THEN I WAS PROPERLY SIGNED INTO XFINITY INTERNET!

What "NUMBERS"? Account number? I used the email address of the account and password to log in in the past. Is that not the same? I tried to use an email address and password of another account to log in and it worked.

Wow I am truly amazed. This post has been up here almost a WEEK and no one from Comcast cares to address this issue. If I was late paying my bill I'm sure CS would be tracking me down.

NO! FIND THE LOG IN YOU USED WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED USING THE INTERNET OR IF YOU NEVER DID YOU BETTER SIGN IN. THEN YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCESS THE XFINITY INTERNET.
