Check connected devices

For the last few months our data usage has shot up way above normal. I want to be able to see connected devices to see if anything is connected that shouldn’t be, but the app doesn’t work. On the “My Account” app I click the “View connected devices” link and a pop up tells me I need to install the “Xfinity” app. Then I click the same link on the “Xfinity” app and nothing happens. It is incredibly frustrating to have to pay these extreme overage fees and not be able to get any information about what’s happening.

You can find the usage info (to some extent) via the internet, while Xfinity is trying to figure out why the Xfinity App is broken (on our phones).  Go to: internet.xfinity.com, and on the Overview tab, at the bottom you will see a chart with all your profiles, and if you click to the second page or tab of that chart, it will show you detail on usage by your 4 most active devices.  If you click on the view all devices, it seems to water down the details and you lose visibility into what devices are chewing the most data.  If you want to see usage on a Windows 10 computer, you can also search for "data usage overview"

Thanks for your reply. When I go to internet.xfinity.com on my desktop PC it gives me the same page telling me to download their app and nothing else. The address bar at the top changes to "https://internet.xfinity.com/not-eligible". The Windows 10 tip was good though. Only 28.02 GB in the last 30 days which makes the overall data usage (900gb since the start of the year) even more unbelievable.

Bear in mind that the 28G in Windows would be for only that specific device. 

Are you logged in when trying the xfinity site?  And do you have the package that includes the XFi services?  

disclaimer....I'm just a guy who has struggled thru many of the same challenges with my service!

I guess I don't have XFi. And yes I realize you're just a guy, but you've already tried to do more to help than actual customer service.

Hey there, @user_24123f.

 

You can upgrade to an xFi eligible device at no extra cost. We can send you a new modem, or you can pick on up in store. However, you should still be able to access the Xfinity App and view certain things. If you search Xfinity App in your app store, it should appear. 

I no longer work for Comcast.

As I stated in my original message, I have the Xfinity App. It just doesn't work. Also upgrading to an xFi eligible device costs a monthly rental fee, no? That's why I finally got rid of the Xfinity modem because I was paying I believe $14 a month.
