Comcast to Increase Internet Speeds for Customers in Oregon/SW Washington at No Additional Cost
Comcast (News - Alert) today announced it is increasing the speeds of its Xfinity
Internet speed package - Performance Internet - for existing customers
in the Oregon/SW Washington region at no additional cost.
Performance Internet customers will see their download speed increase
from 50 Mbps to up to 70 Mbps. Customers can expect to experience the
new speeds today, March 1.
"These speed increases reflect our commitment to delivering the fastest
internet speeds to our customers, just as we've done almost every year
for more than a decade," said Rodrigo Lopez, Regional Senior Vice
President of Comcast's Oregon/SW Washington Region. "Our goal is to
ensure people have a great experience using our products and have all
the speed they need to stay ahead of new online trends, connected
devices and technological advancements."
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. 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 or can
lease a new modem from Comcast.
Xfinity continues to deliver the best in-home WiFi (News - Alert) experience, and most
Xfinity Internet customers can enjoy complimentary access to more than
15 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 (News - Alert) devices, or by visiting the hotspot finder map on www.xfinity.com/wifi.
Comcast offers a wide variety of speed tiers to meet every household's
needs, whether they occasionally surf the web or spend hours streaming
movies. Last October, Comcast announced that it will start offering a
residential gigabit internet service to our customers in Oregon/SW
Washington later this year. The company will deliver these super-fast
speeds with DOCSIS
3.1 technology, which uses the existing wiring that most people
already have in their homes. Comcast will be the first company in
Oregon/SW Washington to offer 1 Gig Internet speeds across our entire
footprint.
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 16 years, delivering speeds in most of the Oregon/SW
Washington region from 10 Mbps up to 2 Gbps for residential customers
and up to 10 Gbps for business customers.
