Netflix isn't free in many places, if at all, but you can receive a free month of Netflix when you sign up for Xfinity and bundle it with your plan at the time of registration. Upon opening an Xfinity account, Netflix is available as an optional upgrade. This offer is a common incentive that Netflix provides in collaboration with internet service providers and cable companies.
