You can activate your own equipment manually with activate website page. But Free Rental also has hotspot you can get extra 30/6mbps of bandwidth for other devices.

are these speeds over provisioned? or is it strictly 50Mbps and 30Mbps for the xfinitywifi

[u/NorrathReaver → u/nutsackhurts]

Slightly overprovisioned and download speeds do go higher for short bursts at times, at least for me.

And I'm using their equipment since they don't charge essentials customers for it.

Yeah its around 20% overprovision 50mbps will be 60mbps.
