“Streaming live sports, gaming, and other data-rich applications
are driving Internet consumption to new heights,” said Emily
Waldorf, Senior Vice President, Consumer Internet Services,
Comcast. ”We have regularly increased speeds over the past two
decades to provide customers with the connectivity they need to
power their increasingly connected lives. And, with the potential
that funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program will not be
renewed, this year we have really leaned into boosting speeds for
these customers so that they can take advantage of these new
capabilities.”
Starting today, new and existing customers can take advantage of
the following speed increases:
- Connect: 75 Mbps to 150 Mbps
- Connect More: 200 Mbps to 300 Mbps
- Fast: 400 Mbps to 500 Mbps
- Xfinity Prepaid: 50 Mbps to 200 Mbps
Faster Speeds, Cybersecurity Protection and Incredible
WiFi Today’s speed increases help to ensure that Xfinity has
customers covered now and into the future. They are made possible
by Comcast’s fiber-based network which has been built to deliver an
exceptional Internet experience, ubiquitously, to the more than 60
million homes and businesses across the country. It is a
culmination of years of research, technological breakthroughs, and
massive investments, more than $20 billion since 2018 alone, in
development and infrastructure.
Fast speed is an important feature of a comprehensive
connectivity experience that also combines this powerful network
with sophisticated hardware and software to deliver incredible
benefits to consumers:
- 99.99% Reliability – Fast Internet speeds won’t matter
if you don’t have a reliable broadband connection. Xfinity has
99.99 percent reliability, and the Xfinity network utilizes
artificial intelligence to keep customers connected by fixing
issues before they even affect homes.
- Cybersecurity – xFi Advanced Security, included for free
for customers who lease an Xfinity gateway, protects connected
devices from malware and other threats at the gateway before they
reach connected household devices. Since launching xFi Advanced
Security, Xfinity has stopped more than 10 billion cyber security
threats.
- Next-Level WiFi – Next-generation Xfinity gateways
deliver advanced WiFi capacity to power hundreds of devices in
homes and more than a billion devices each year across Comcast’s
network.
- Later this year, Comcast will introduce its latest gateway, the
XB10, the first to incorporate unified DOCSIS 4.0, WiFi 7, and AI
technologies. The XB10 will be capable of delivering symmetrical
multi-gig speeds over WiFi and connect up to 300 devices.
- WiFi Boost Pods work with Xfinity gateways to extend WiFi
coverage to hard-to-reach areas of the home. The latest WiFi
extender, Storm-Ready WiFi, is Xfinity’s most powerful device to
date and helps maintain a strong connection even if the power goes
out. Visit an Xfinity store or visit Xfinity.com to learn more
about Storm-Ready WiFi.
Keeping Customers Connected The federal government
recently announced that the Affordable Connectivity Program could
end as early as April if it does not receive additional funding.
The speed increases rolling out today will help to ensure those who
may be affected by the end of ACP will continue to have access to
fast, affordable, reliable Internet options.
- Xfinity Promotional Offers – ACP participants who are
existing Xfinity customers or new to Xfinity can take advantage of
current promotional offers. Customers are encouraged to call
1-800-Xfinity to learn more about what offers may be available in
their area. Teams are ready to work with customers to move them to
a plan that fits their budget and connectivity needs if they will
no longer be able to afford their current tier of service without
the $30 ACP benefit.
- Internet Essentials – Xfinity customers benefitting from
ACP are automatically eligible to enroll in Internet Essentials for
as low as $9.95 a month or Internet Essentials Plus, which doubles
the speed of traditional Internet Essentials for $29.95 per month.
Both services provide fast and reliable home Internet with no
credit checks or cancellation fees and come with equipment
included.
