Experience with Xfinity xFi for No Additional Cost
Comcast announced today that it is launching a new internet
service that will deliver speeds up to 1 Gigabit-per-second (Gbps)
to residential customers throughout its Oregon/SW Washington
region. These speeds will be among the fastest and most widely
available in the region and include access to the nation’s largest
Wi-Fi network of more than 17 million hotspots. Combined with the
company’s recently launched Xfinity xFi platform, a new and
personalized home Wi-Fi experience, Comcast is giving Oregon/SW
Washington customers the fastest speeds, the best coverage, and
ultimate Wi-Fi control in their homes.
“Super-fast residential internet speed is now available to all
customers in Comcast’s Oregon/SW Washington region,” said Rodrigo
Lopez, regional senior vice-president for Comcast Oregon/SW
Washington. “We continue to be the leader in delivering the fastest
speeds to the most homes, providing technology that’s vital to
today’s internet-dependent households.”
Earlier this month, Comcast launched Xfinity xFi, a platform
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.
Outside the home, most Xfinity Internet customers also have
complimentary access to nearly 17 million Wi-Fi hotspots
nationwide.
“It’s exciting to see Comcast moving the economy forward by
providing world-class internet speeds to residents in our region,”
said Pam Treece, Executive Director of the Westside Economic
Alliance. “These speeds have been available to the business
community, and now our residents will be able to get even more done
at home. This will be a great benefit to entrepreneurs, businesses
of all sizes, and for those who telecommute, too. It’s wonderful to
see this investment and resource here.”
The company’s new 1 Gigabit internet service will use DOCSIS 3.1
technology to deliver the speeds over the existing communications
lines that are already in most people’s homes. To enjoy the
service, all customers need to do is install a new DOCSIS 3.1 cable
modem. New and current customers in Oregon/SW Washington can visit
https://www.xfinity.com/gig to learn about the new service and
request additional information.
The everyday price for 1 Gigabit service in Oregon/SW Washington
is $159.95, without a contract. The company will test a $109.99 per
month promotional price across the region. Additional prices and
promotions may be tested in the future.
