XFINITY Internet customers can sign in with their username and password, and will be automatically connected at XFINITY WiFi hotspots in the future.

Non-XFINITY Internet subscribers should visit the "Not an XFINITY Internet Customer" section on the sign in page to get started. Non-customers will be able to renew their complimentary sessions every 2 hours through Monday, March 26.

Residents who are without power can also recharge their devices at Xfinity store locations throughout the region.
