Xfinity's own site and a review site both describe a five-year price guarantee on select Xfinity internet plans, and the guarantee is promoted alongside Xfinity Shield. The claim drops the 'select plans only' qualifier and calls it a Wi-Fi price, but the sources describe an internet plan price, so the core assertion holds on a standard reading.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Supports. Xfinity's learn page says the company offers a 5-Year Price Guarantee on select internet plans, where the monthly price stays the same for five years.[2]

Supports. A review page published 2026-11-01 lists plans with the 5-year price guarantee at $45 to $100 per month and separately describes Xfinity Shield, which launched 2026-08-18.[3]

Context. Reuters reports that Xfinity Shield launched on 2026-08-18, with WiFi Shield included at no extra cost and a $15-a-month tier with added devices. Neither Reuters nor the other sources ties the five-year guarantee directly to Shield.[1][4]

Context. The guarantee applies only to select plans and requires autopay and paperless billing according to one review, which the claim omits. The sources describe an internet plan price rather than a Wi-Fi-specific price.[2][3]
