or - For deliveries: (a) five days from the date of order or (b) the day you activate your equipment.

Summarizing your first bill
Your first bill payment includes:
- A prorated amount from your activation date to your bill pay date.
- A charge for the next month of service.
- Any activation, installation, or one-time fees, with applicable taxes.
Note: In some locations, your service activation date may indicate the start of your billing cycle and you may not see any prorated amounts on your bill.
Prorated charges
The prorated charge is for the use of Comcast service from your activation date until the end of the current billing period. For example, if your service began on March 13 and the Comcast billing period ends on March 25, you will be charged for twelve days of service instead of the full month.
New charges
This section includes an itemized list of fees incurred between your activation date and billing date. Some of these fees (e.g., activation or setup) are one-time charges; other charges, such as equipment rental, are recurring.
Future bills
Your future Comcast bills will reflect charges for one billing cycle, subject to any promotions or changes to your subscription package.
