That's not Xfinity, it's because that's what the DMCA notice they recieved says you are/were downloading. The ISP receives a DMCA notice from the agency representing the copyright holder. What happens from there will vary slightly, but in the US at least they are required by law to notify you, and if you don't stop seeding/feeding/uploading, or send an otherwise legal atestation that it isn't a fact, they are required to cut you aff.

Xfinity (attempts to) snoops so badly that they send a letter with the title of what you downloaded! Something to the effect of (from memory):

-----
Xfinity customer:

We've noticed that you downloaded copyrighted songs, music or data:

Top Gun - Maverick

This goes against our terms of service. This is a strike; after a second strike we will throttle or limit any data we suspect of being copyrighted. A third strike may warrant your service being terminated.

If you have any questions, please phone us at 1-800-XFINITY so we can laugh as you wait for two hours before we disconnect.

Love,
Xfinity Cable
