Business Wire
Comcast today announced it is increasing the speeds of its
Xfinity Internet service packages for existing customers in
Colorado at no additional cost.
Speed increases will vary based on the Xfinity Internet
customers’ current speed subscriptions, and the majority will see
an increase of 50 Mbps. New and existing customers can expect to
experience enhanced speeds this month.
Here are the details:
Internet Tier/Customer Package
Current Speed (Mbps)
New Speed (Mbps)
Performance Starter 10/2 15/2 Performance Plus 55/5 60/5
Performance Pro 100/5 150/5 Blast! Pro 200/10 250/10
“We want our customers to be able to quickly connect with what’s
important to them,” said Rich Jennings, senior vice President of
Comcast Mountain West Region. “We want them to see added value in
their Xfinity service by spending more time enjoying their
entertainment and less time waiting on it to download. Year after
year, we continue to deliver the fastest speeds to our customers
ensuring they reliably connect to the moments that matter
most.”
To get the increased speeds, most customers will simply need to
re-start their modems when notified by Comcast that the new speed
is available. Comcast will also notify customers who may need to
upgrade their modems to receive the increased speeds. Those who own
their own modems and need to upgrade them to receive the increased
speeds will need to purchase a new one or can lease a new modem
from Comcast.
Customers who lease modems from Comcast can upgrade their modem
for no additional charge. Upgraded modems come with the xFi
application suite, which allows for better visibility and control
of customers’ home WiFi networks.
In addition to increasing internet speeds, Comcast continues to
offer the fastest in-home WiFi gateway, and most Xfinity Internet
customers can enjoy complimentary access to more than 18 million
Xfinity WiFi hotspots nationwide by selecting "xfinitywifi" from
the list of available networks on their laptops or mobile devices
and entering their Xfinity ID or email and password. Hotspots can
be found by either downloading the Xfinity WiFi App, available for
free on iOS and Android devices, or by visiting the hotspot finder
map on www.xfinity.com/wifi.
Comcast has invested billions of dollars in its network, locally
and nationally, to meet consumer demand, and it has now increased
speeds 17 times in the last 17 years, delivering speeds in most of
Colorado from 10 Mbps up to 2 Gbps for residential customers and up
to 10 Gbps for business customers.
Offering the nation’s largest and most comprehensive broadband
adoption program, Comcast’s Internet Essentials provides low-cost
broadband service for $9.95 a month, digital literacy training and
discounted computers for low-income Americans.
