Xfinity Mobile Customers Can Auto-Connect to Lightning-Fast Speeds that Outperform Every Other Wireless Provider

Today, Comcast officially introduces Xfinity Mobile Arena, the iconic home of the Philadelphia Flyers and Philadelphia 76ers, and a WiFi network upgrade so intelligent its blazing-fast speeds are 10x faster. It is the first arena on the East Coast to leverage the newly introduced high-power WiFi, engineered to support thousands of devices simultaneously with enhanced reliability and advanced security.

Fans with the latest smartphones will be able to enjoy this incredible Xfinity WiFi experience and share their favorite moments in real time. Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile customers will also auto-connect to premium in-venue speeds that are faster than any other wireless provider. And, Xfinity Mobile Arena will continue to have strong, consistent 5G service from anywhere in the building for all fans. In the coming weeks, Xfinity WiFi will extend to surrounding parking lots, keeping fans connected from tailgate to tip-off.

“Philadelphia is built on passion. Whether it’s the adrenaline of a 76ers or Flyers game, a concert, or a moment that moves you, people can share it instantly at Xfinity Mobile Arena,” said Matt Lederer, Vice President of Brand Partnerships & Engagement at Comcast. “Xfinity Mobile Arena’s new supercharged WiFi is a living showcase of our brand and the opportunity we have to power connections that bring our community together.”

Since 1996, Xfinity Mobile Arena has hosted the most influential sports moments and entertainment acts in the region and continues to be one of the industry’s busiest venues – hosting the top touring musical and entertainment acts in the world. In 2024, following the completion of a multi-year $400 million+ privately funded transformation, the arena was named by Front Office Sports to its “Best Venues” list and ranked as a top 10 U.S. venue by Pollstar for both number of tickets sold and gross revenue.

“We are proud Xfinity Mobile Arena serves as the centerpiece for top sporting and entertainment events in Philadelphia,” said Daniel J. Hilferty, Chairman and CEO, Comcast Spectacor. “With Xfinity Mobile, we’re bringing the fastest wireless service and Comcast’s cutting-edge technology to enhance the fan experience. Comcast Spectacor’s commitment to exceptional service ensures that we will continue to offer fans and guests the best experiences in the years ahead.”

“The strength of our partnership with Comcast and Xfinity Mobile is a shared vision of leveraging technology and innovation to create lasting memories for our fans at games, concerts, and live events. The incredible investments Xfinity Mobile has committed will allow our fans to stay connected and share every shot, dunk, and celebration,” said Tad Brown, CEO of HBSE and the Philadelphia 76ers. “We can’t wait to welcome our fans back to Xfinity Mobile Arena soon as we have some fun things planned for them this season.”

At millions of Xfinity hotspots across the country or in the home, Xfinity Mobile offers its customers WiFi PowerBoost, a game-changing feature that provides speeds of up to 1 gig – no matter the plan they choose – when they are connected over WiFi anywhere on the Xfinity WiFi network. With 90 percent of mobile traffic traveling over WiFi, Xfinity Mobile is created for how customers use their mobile devices, combining the nation’s best WiFi with the most reliable 5G network.
