Multi-gig Speeds will be Among the Fastest in
the Region
Comcast is accelerating the nation’s largest and fastest
multi-gig deployment and announced today that its latest Xfinity
10G Network updates are rolling out to homes and businesses across
Middle, West and East Tennessee. These network enhancements will
benefit customers at all speed-tiers and price points. With these
improvements, Comcast is also rolling out new download speeds up to
2 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) and up to 5x-to-10x faster upload
speeds.
These Tennessee markets are the latest communities in Comcast’s
southeastern region to roll out these Xfinity 10G Network
enhancements, setting the stage for the introduction of new
symmetrical multi-gigabit internet options that can be delivered
across Comcast’s existing networks with less cost.
"Connecting Tennesseans to fast, secure and reliable internet
service has never been more critical,” said Jason Gumbs, Regional
SVP at Comcast. "Through our network innovation and investments, we
continue to connect more residents and businesses while partnering
with the state to expand our network to rural and underserved
areas."
Comcast has invested nearly $629 million in technology and
infrastructure improvements in its Tennessee network over the last
three years.
Powered by the Xfinity 10G
Network
Comcast’s network and Internet experience are powering homes and
businesses today and into the future:
- Ultimate Capacity: Xfinity customers connect nearly 1
billion devices across the company’s network annually. The Xfinity
10G Network with the next-generation Xfinity gateways deliver the
most advanced WiFi technology carrying three times more bandwidth
to power streaming, gaming, videoconferencing, and more,
simultaneously.
- Fastest Internet: More than a third of Xfinity Internet
customers subscribe to gigabit speed products, and symmetrical gig
speeds are planned to come to the first homes later this year.
- Unprecedented Coverage: The latest Xfinity Gateway
provides a more reliable connection throughout the home. Customers
can get wall-to-wall WiFi coverage with a powerful Xfinity WiFi
Boost Pod that extends coverage to hard-to-reach areas, with plans
for an offering of increased support for in-home WiFi through a
“boost guarantee” later this year.
- Most Reliable Connection: Comcast is scaling the
nation’s largest and most reliable network – the Xfinity 10G
Network – that passes 60 million homes and businesses and counting.
The company plans to launch a new device that is “storm ready” with
cellular and battery backup to help keep customers connected even
when the power goes out.
- Ultra-Low Latency: The Xfinity 10G Network and the
latest Xfinity Gateway are a powerful combination that deliver
ultra-low latency for those moments when response times matter most
like video games, a fast-growing category with Xfinity households
averaging more than one gaming console per home.
Recently, Comcast accelerated the transformation of its network
to a cloud-based architecture that is fully prepared for robust 10G
technologies and DOCSIS 4.0. This network architecture will enable
Comcast to deliver symmetrical, multi-gigabit speeds to both
residential and business customers, services that technically
limited fixed wireless providers will not be able to deliver.
Comcast’s ongoing network evolution also furthers its commitment to
provide a cleaner, greener Internet by doubling network energy
efficiency by 2030. Comcast estimates this will avoid the
equivalent amount of electricity needed to power a half a million
homes for a year.
