DOCSIS 3.1-based gigabit internet service now
available to Comcast Business customers in Northeast, Mid-Atlantic
and Central US
Comcast Business today announced the launch of DOCSIS 3.1-based
internet service to business customers in the Northeastern and
Mid-Atlantic United States including Greater Boston; Greater
Philadelphia; New Jersey; and northern Delaware; as well as in
Baltimore, MD; Charlottesville, VA; and Washington, D.C. Additional
areas throughout the Company’s national network footprint will
deploy on a rolling basis through the Fall. This expands on the
Company’s existing DOCSIS 3.1-based internet serviceability in
Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit, Chattanooga, Huntsville and
Miami.
With the continued roll out of its gig-speed network, Comcast’s
“Business Internet 1 Gig” and “Business Internet 500” speed tiers
are now available to business customers in Comcast’s Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic service areas using the company’s existing network,
without the need for any costly or disruptive construction of new
network facilities.
Businesses of all sizes are moving to cloud-based operations
models and placing a premium on high-capacity, high-performance
internet connectivity. DOCSIS 3.1 business internet service
unleashes a new option for accessing gigabit speeds in any business
environment – whether a distributed enterprise with locations
across the country or a small business with only a handful of
locations. The speed and cost efficiencies afforded by Comcast
Business’s gig-speed network make it ideally suited for businesses
across several industries such as retail, healthcare,
manufacturing, hospitality, education and government.
“Comcast is building the nation’s largest gig-speed network. We
have been at the forefront of DOCSIS 3.1 deployment and today’s
roll out further demonstrates our commitment to bringing this
transformational technology to all businesses in our footprint,”
said Kevin O’Toole, senior vice president of Product Management at
Comcast Business. “Our gig-speed network allows businesses to
quickly and easily scale network capacity at their locations to
suit their individual needs and to support new technology
applications on-site or in the cloud."
Business Internet 1 Gig and Business Internet 500 enables
Comcast Business to deploy gigabit service more widely across its
existing network and reach more customers. The service tiers serve
to complement existing gigabit and multi-gigabit options already
available to Comcast Business customers, including Comcast Business
Ethernet, which the company launched and has been expanding
nationally since 2011. Those services can support speeds of 100
gigabits per second over fiber.
In addition to the markets announced today, Comcast Business
plans to launch Business Internet 1 Gig and Business Internet 500
in the majority of its service areas throughout 2017 and into 2018.
Pricing for the services varies based on a business’s location or
number of locations to be served and the services to which the
business currently subscribes, and customers can contact their
local Comcast salesperson or agent/partner for more information.
Businesses already served by Comcast can upgrade to Business
Internet 1 Gig or Business Internet 500 by simply calling the
Company or visiting: http://business.comcast.com/gig.
