It's a "brand" of Comcast (whatever that means)

"Comcast Cable is the cable television division of Comcast Corporation, providing cable television, broadband internet, and landline telephone under the Xfinity brand." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comcast#Comcast_Cable_(Xfinity...

True, but Comcast Cable was still rebranded to it to avoid negative associations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfinity#Branding
