Yes the shutoff is mostly seamless but it isn't available for just 1 or 2 weeks. There's a minimum. I don't remember what the minimum was. I also agree about the 25mbps. for $50 you can get up to 100mbps from xfinity for a year. And then when your year is up, tell them you want whatever the "new customer" special is (it's the same deal that you had all year), or else you'll cancel, and then sign right back up with the new customer special anyway. That's what I did. For 2 years so far I'm paying $50/month for 100mbps.
About that speed: the speed only applies if you hook your device (computer, or TV, or laptop, or tablet) directly to the modem. If you are hooked up to a router, and the router is the thing connected to the modem, your speed is reduced significantly since it's on a shared connection.
The more thing you have turned on, that are connected to that service, the slower the speed across each device. If you only have one device and no router, you get that 100mbps easily.
