Comcast increases internet speeds for customers from Maine to Virginia
Comcast today announced it is significantly increasing the speeds of two of its most popular Internet speed tiers – Blast! and Performance Pro – for both new and existing customers in the Northeast Division, which includes 14 northeastern states from Maine through Virginia and the District of Columbia. Most Blast! customers will see their download speeds increase from 150 Mbps to 200 Mbps, and Performance Pro customers will see an increase from 75 Mbps to 100 Mbps, both at no additional cost. Most customers who currently subscribe to Xfinity bundles with these speed tiers will automatically be upgraded to the new speeds.
These latest increases demonstrate Comcast’s ongoing commitment to continue to increase speeds for its customers, as it has done almost every year for more than a decade, in order to stay ahead of the ever expanding number of Internet applications and connected devices in the home.
"As customer demands and technology evolve, we continue to increase our broadband speeds to deliver the fastest and most reliable Internet experiences possible, both inside and outside of the home," said Kevin Casey, President of Comcast Cable’s Northeast Division. "We’re always looking for new ways to meet and exceed customer expectations, and have built a state-of-the-art network capable of continuing to deliver best-in-cla$s speed and capability as the Internet world progresses."
The faster speeds and tiers started rolling out October 18, and are now available to the vast majority of new and existing customers. Customers subscribing to Blast! or Performance Pro bundles will see their download speeds increase by 33 percent to 200 Mbps and 100 Mbps, respectively. To get the increased speeds, customers simply need to re-start their modems. Comcast will also notify customers who may need to upgrade their modems to receive the increased speeds. Customers who lease modems from Comcast will be able to receive upgraded modems at no additional charge. Customers who own their own modems and need to upgrade their modems to receive the increased speeds will need to purchase a new modem (a list of approved modems can be found online at ↪ http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/) or can lease a new modem from Comcast.
