Or you could in the past. My in-laws did that when they got their new equipment. I don't know exactly how they found out it was going to be done - possibly inside info due to a relative working for Comcast.

So how do I shut the xfinitywifi SSID? Motorola Surfboard, Netgear WNDR3800, reflash the 3800 with cerowrt. Done. And you get less bufferbloat in the bargain. (Though the 3800 runs into CPU limits around 60mbits/sec - doesn't bother me, as my 20/5 plan is plenty for me except when my cats decide to start binging on funny people videos. But if you've got leads on gear that will still have CPU headroom in the 100-200mbit range, contact Dave Taht. :) -- Jeff Shultz
