Comcast bringing faster internet to 20 million households

More than 20 million Xfinity households across the country will be experiencing faster Internet, thanks to Xfinity.

And it's not just large metropolitan areas.

“Households in Atlanta and across the country continue to see a sharp increase in their connected devices, so faster internet speeds and a more reliable connection have never been more critical,” said Jason Gumbs, Comcast Regional SVP.

Here's a breakdown.

Beginning this week, new and existing customers will be able to take advantage of the following upgraded speeds*:

Connect from 50 Mbps to 75 Mbps

Connect More from 100 Mbps to 200 Mbps

Fast from 300 Mbps to 400 Mbps

Superfast from 600 Mbps to 800 Mbps

Gigabit (formerly Ultrafast) from 900 Mbps to 1 Gbps

Benefits Beyond Speed – Reliability and Security

The benefits of Xfinity go beyond faster speeds. Xfinity’s comprehensive connectivity experience combines a powerful network built to deliver Internet in the home, reliably and securely, with cutting-edge hardware and software.

Reliable – Next-generation Xfinity gateways deliver the most advanced WiFi technology, WiFi 6E, with 3x more bandwidth to power hundreds of devices, gigabit speeds over WiFi, and ultra-low latency for those moments when response times matter most like playing video games or using virtual reality. xFi Pods extend that coverage to hard-to-reach areas of the home, when needed.

Secure – xFi Advanced Security – included free for customers who lease an Xfinity gateway – protects connected devices from malware and other threats at the gateway before they reach devices and the household members who are using them. Xfinity has stopped billions of cyber security threats since introducing the service a few years ago.

Looking to the Future

Comcast’s Xfinity Internet service is delivered using Comcast’s existing network architecture and the connections that are already in most customers’ homes – no digging up yards required. Faster speeds will be just one of the consumer benefits made possible through Comcast’s continued efforts to evolve its entire network to 10G.

10G is a next-generation technology platform supported by a https://www.10gplatform.com/ of companies in the Internet industry focused on building networks that stay ahead of consumer demand for connectivity.
