“Performance 25” Tier Speeds More than
Double, Providing Greater Value and Faster Speeds to Stream, Chat
and Connect on Multiple Devices
Comcast is more than doubling the speed of its “Performance 25”
Xfinity® Internet tier for existing customers throughout Washington
at no additional cost. Customers can now enjoy download speeds of
up to 55 Mbps on the rebranded “Performance Plus” tier. These new
speeds are effective immediately.
“We’re always looking for more ways to add value for our
customers in Seattle and everyone else we serve in Washington,”
said Amy Lynch, Regional Senior Vice President of Comcast in
Washington. “Today’s news, combined with our recent xFi launch,
give our customers more speed, coverage and control than ever
before and really delivers a great overall internet experience in
their homes.”
Earlier this month, Comcast launched Xfinity xFi, a new and
personalized Wi-Fi experience that provides a simple digital
dashboard for customers to set up their home Wi-Fi network, find
their password, see what devices are connected, troubleshoot
issues, set parental controls and even pause Wi-Fi access on their
home network during dinner or bedtime. xFi gives customers who have
an xFi-compatible gateway unprecedented visibility and control over
one of the most important technologies in their home.
What’s more, most Xfinity Internet customers also have
complimentary access to nearly 17 million Wi-Fi hotspots
nationwide. Customers can simply select "xfinitywifi" from the list
of available networks on their laptops or mobile devices and enter
their Xfinity ID or email and password. Hotspots can be found by
either downloading the free Xfinity Wi-Fi App, available on iOS and
Android devices, or by visiting the hotspot finder map on
www.xfinity.com/wifi.
To receive the new internet speeds, most customers only need to
re-set their modems by unplugging the equipment from the power
outlet. Comcast will notify any customers who need to upgrade their
equipment – those who currently have a modem from the company will
not be charged to upgrade their equipment while those who own their
own equipment will need to either purchase new equipment or lease a
modem from Comcast to receive the increased speeds.
