Boosting Upload and Download Speeds Across Most
Popular Tiers for Customers from Maine through Virginia
Launching 2 Gig Speeds in Five Major Markets
Before the End of 2022
Comcast today announced it will increase speeds for its most
popular Xfinity Internet tiers across 14 northeastern states from
Maine through Virginia and the District of Columbia. The company
will also roll out new download speeds up to 2 gigabits-per-second
(Gbps) – combined with up to 5x-to-10x faster upload speeds – for
Xfinity customers in markets across the Northeast, including
Baltimore, Boston, Hartford, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C
before the end of the year.
“Comcast continues to be ahead of customer demand,” said Kevin
Casey, Comcast Northeast Division President. “Through advanced
digital network innovation, we are again evolving our network to
provide faster speeds for customers and are excited to begin
rolling out a multi-gig speed tier to customers in the
Northeast.”
Boosting Internet Speeds for Most
Popular Xfinity Tiers
The following speed increases will be offered to customers on
Xfinity’s most popular speed tiers and will roll out over the
coming weeks. This is the second time Comcast has increased speeds
for customers in the Northeast this year, following our March 2022
speed increase.
Xfinity Internet Speed Increases:
- Performance Starter from 50/10 to 75/10 Mbps
- Doubling speeds for Performance from 100/10 to 200/10 Mbps
- Performance Pro from 300/10 to 400/10 Mbps
- Blast from 600/20 to 800/20 Mbps
- Extreme Pro from 900/20 to 1 Gbps/20 Mbps
- New Gigabit x2 tier in select markets for 2 Gbps/100 Mbps
Comcast will also be doubling upload speeds nationally for all
Internet Essentials Plus customers, from 100/10 Mbps to 100/20
Mbps. Internet Essentials Plus includes a cable modem, access to
millions of WiFi hotspots, and unlimited data for $29.95 per month;
and customers who qualify for the Affordable Connectivity Program
can get this tier of service for free.
New 2 Gig Speeds and Faster Upload
Speeds for xFi Complete Customers
Comcast recently embarked on the largest- and fastest-ever
multi-gig deployment in the United States that will make multi-gig
speeds available to more than 50 million homes and business by the
end of 2025. Comcast Northeast Division teams have begun enabling
these upgrades in Boston, Hartford and Philadelphia and will
continue in Baltimore and Washington D.C before the end of the
year.
As markets launch, Xfinity Internet customers who subscribe to
xFi Complete, will have their upload speeds increased between 5 and
10 times faster. xFi Complete includes an xFi gateway, advanced
cybersecurity protection at home and on the go, tech auto-upgrades
for a new gateway after three years, and wall-to-wall WiFi coverage
with an xFi Pod included if recommended. Now, another benefit of
xFi Complete is faster upload speeds.
New xFi Complete Speed Tiers:
- Performance Starter from 75/10 to 75/75 Mbps
- Performance from 200/10 to 200/100 Mbps
- Performance Pro from 400/10 to 400/100 Mbps
- Blast from 800/20 to 800/100 Mbps
- Extreme Pro from 1 Gbps/20 to 1 Gbps/100 Mbps
- Gigabit Plus from 1.2 Gbps/35 to 1.2 Gbps/200 Mbps
- New Gigabit x2 tier in select markets for 2 Gbps/200 Mbps
The network updates that enable multi-gig speeds and faster
uploads also accelerate Comcast’s work to evolve its entire network
to 10G, which will deliver multigigabit upload and download speeds
to tens of millions of Americans over the connections they already
have in their homes. Comcast will begin offering 10G-enabled
multi-gig symmetrical services in 2023.
“We’re virtualizing our network to make it even smarter, faster
and more reliable,” said Ed Marchetti, Senior Vice President,
Technical Operations and Engineering, Comcast Northeast Division.
“The technical work we are doing to move key components to the
cloud allows us to bring multi-gig speeds to our entire Northeast
footprint faster and more ubiquitously than anyone else.”
