Comcast's Internet transfers data at speeds that fall somewhere 2 Mbps and 6 Gbps.
Logging in to https://www.xfinity.com/learn/internet-service should tell you your Internet speeds. Wifi frequencies are a matter of user preference, device capabilities, and device configuration.
Oh, and the "G" in cellphone signal designations like 3G. 4G, and 5G? That "G" stands for "Generation", not Giga anything.
I've simplified the numbers a bit to avoid dealing with powers of two, but that's the general idea. And yes, there will a quiz!

Hello @user_jxkflf, thanks for reaching out for help with your account!
When looking at GHz, or Gigahertz, most modems provide a 2.5 GHz or 5.0 GHz connection. If you are using an Xfinity provided modem, by default, these bands are typically combines with one SSID/Password, but they can be split if needed. If you go here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/change-wifi-channel-xfinity-xfi, you can learn more about managing your Wi-Fi Channels Using the Xfinity App.

None.
Hertz is a measure of frequency (cycles per second).
1,000 Hertz = 1 KiloHertz (KHz), 1,000 KHz = 1 MegaHertz (MHz), 1,000 MHz = 1 GigaHertz (GHz).
The signals on the coax cable that carries your Internet service are in the range of 10 MHz to 1,000 MHz.
Your router or gateway converts those signals to Wifi frequencies around 2.4 GHz, (probably) 5 GHz, and (perhaps) 6 GHz.
Internet providers measure data transfer speed in bits per second (bps).
1,000 bps = 1 Kilobps (Kbps), 1,000 Kbps = 1 Megabps (Mbps), and 1,000 Mbps = 1 Gigabps (Gbps).

The concern is not "Xfinity App" help related. Topic moved here to this help section.
