WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- (Business Wire)
Comcast, the nation’s largest Internet service provider, today announced
it is increasing the speeds of two of its most popular XFINITY Internet
speed plans, Blast! and Extreme 50, to its customers in Monroe,
Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach Counties and the Treasure Coast for no
additional cost. Customers will enjoy more than twice as fast Internet
speeds on multiple devices, allowing them to surf, chat, stream HD
movies and TV shows, or game online with double the speed. Also for no
additional cost, Comcast in April is increasing the speed of its widely
used Performance plan by more than 60 percent.
“As customer demands and technology evolve, we continue to increase our
broadband speeds to deliver the best, fastest and most reliable Internet
experience possible for our customers,” said Amy Smith, Comcast’s
regional senior vice president in Florida. “Whether chatting, surfing,
streaming, gaming, skyping or downloading, families will get the
superfast, high-performing Internet service they need, with no extra
charge.”
Specifically, the Blast! plan is increasing download speeds from up to
25 Mbps to speeds up to 50 Mbps and upload speeds from up to 4 Mbps to
up to 10 Mbps, while Extreme 50 customers will receive download speeds
up to 105 Mbps (formerly 50 Mbps) and upload speeds up to 20 Mbps
(formerly 15 Mbps). The Performance plan is increasing to speeds up to
(20 or 25) Mbps from 15 Mbps downstream and to (4 or 5) Mbps from 2 Mbps
upstream. To activate the new speeds, customers just need to re-start
their cable modem.
For the third year in a row the Federal Communications Commission has
shown that Comcast delivers speeds to customers that are even faster
than the advertised speeds. Comcast is not only delivering the nation’s
fastest Internet, but it is also providing the fastest in-home WiFi with
its latest Xfinity Wireless Gateway, an all-in-one device that gives
customers reliably fast speeds with the most coverage in their home so
everyone can get online and do more on their devices all at the same
time.
