Comcast to Deliver Gigabit Internet Service in Colorado over Its Existing Network Infrastructure

Comcast announced today it is launching a new internet service
that will deliver speeds up to 1 Gigabit-per-second (Gbps) to
residential customers throughout the state of Colorado. 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 Colorado customers the fastest
speeds, the best coverage, and ultimate Wi-Fi control in their
homes.
“We want to ensure residents throughout Colorado have the
ability to connect with each other and their communities and share
information and entertainment in the most convenient way possible,”
said Rich Jennings, Comcast Senior Vice President of the Mountain
West Region. “Our 1 Gig service will provide the fastest speed to
the most homes – over existing wiring that most people already have
in their homes.”
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.
“The availability of 1 Gig service to homes throughout Colorado
is critical to our continued economic prosperity and growth,” said
Andrea Young, President and CEO of the Colorado Technology
Association “Comcast continues to be a leader in technology
innovation that fosters connections and strengthens our
community.”
The company’s new 1 Gigabit internet service will use existing
communications lines that are already in most people’s homes. As a
result, it has the potential to reach more homes even faster and
allows for broad deployment across communities. To enjoy the
service, all customers need to do is install a new DOCSIS 3.1
compatible cable modem that is capable of delivering gigabit
speeds.
The everyday price for 1 Gigabit service in Colorado is $159.95,
without a contract. The company will test a $109.99 per month
promotional price in a few markets around the state. Additional
prices and promotions may be tested in the future.
New and current customers throughout Colorado can visit
Xfinity.com/gig to learn about the new service and request
additional information.
