No Additional Cost; Rolls Out Full Duplex Multi-Gigabit Symmetrical
Speeds in Select Markets
Comcast Business today increased Internet speeds for customers,
nationwide, at no additional cost. Comcast Business announced the
introduction of its fastest Internet plans yet – Ultimate Speed for
Business – with up to triple the speeds. Additionally, Comcast
Business announced the roll-out of next-generation multi-gigabit
symmetrical business Internet speeds, powered by Full Duplex
technology, in select markets.
Ultimate Speed for Ultimate Business Effective
immediately, new, and existing Comcast Business customers can take
advantage of the following speed plan increases:
- Essential: 50 Mbps to 150 Mbps
- Standard: 100 Mbps to 300 Mbps
- Performance: 250 Mbps to 500 Mbps
- Advanced: 500 Mbps to 800 Mbps
- Upstream speeds have also been increased for the above, as well
as for Comcast Business’s Gigabit Extra and 2 Gigabit
plans
Comcast Business delivers the highest Internet speeds in more
places for small businesses at affordable prices, backed with 24/7
support. Comcast Business also offers this service with unlimited
data and the option to lease an all-in-one gateway enabling private
business WiFi capable of delivering Gig speeds, a dynamic IP
address, and Xfinity hotspot service. Customers can easily
customize their plans with additional solutions such as advanced
cybersecurity to better protect their connected devices and 4G LTE
backup to help keep their business running when the unexpected
strikes.
“For today’s businesses, a network that can’t keep up can mean
missed opportunities and revenue. Comcast Business is committed to
being the leading connectivity solutions provider for all
businesses and is continually investing in and upgrading our
network – making it faster, safer, smarter, and more reliable,”
said Christian Nascimento, Vice President, Connectivity and Digital
Experience, Comcast Business. “That’s why we’re introducing
Ultimate Speed for Business – our fastest plans yet. We’re proud to
increase download and upload speeds and offer our customers greater
connectivity, value, and peace of mind.”
Next-Gen, Multi-Gig, Symmetrical Speeds As part of its
continued network evolution, Comcast Business is also introducing a
new portfolio of multi-gigabit, symmetrical Internet products for
customers powered by DOCSIS 4.0. Comcast leverages a breakthrough
network technology known as “Full Duplex” which utilizes the same
network spectrum to dramatically increase upstream speeds without
sacrificing downstream speeds.
Comcast Business has begun deployment of next-generation
symmetrical Internet, powered by Full Duplex technology, to
businesses in select areas of Atlanta, GA; Colorado Springs, CO;
and Philadelphia, PA, and will continue to launch new markets
throughout the country over the next few years.
Comcast Network Innovation Today’s speed increases 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.
The business services launch of DOCSIS 4.0 is the latest in a
long line of world firsts that Comcast has spearheaded in the
effort to implement DOCSIS 4.0. In April 2021, Comcast conducted
the first-ever live test of Full Duplex DOCSIS and later that year
tested the world’s first 10G connection all the way from the
network to a modem. In 2022, Comcast conducted a world-first live
trial and connected a business location in the Philadelphia region
to its live network including a DOCSIS 4.0-enabled 10G node and
multiple cable modems. In February 2023, the company marked another
major milestone in the nation’s largest and fastest multi-gig
deployment by announcing its latest Xfinity 10G upgrade launched to
10 million homes and businesses. And in December 2023, Comcast
introduced the first residential customers in the world to
next-generation Internet powered by DOCSIS 4.0 technology.
