Comcast Increases Internet Speeds for California Customers at No Additional Cost
Comcast (News - Alert) is more than doubling the speed of its "Performance 25" Xfinity®
Internet tier for existing customers throughout California at no
additional cost. Customers can now enjoy download speeds of up to 55
Mbps on the rebranded "Performance Plus" tier. These new speeds are
effective immediately.
"We're always looking for ways to add value for customers," said Elaine
Barden, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, California Region. "Today's
news, combined with our recent xFi launch, give our customers more
speed, coverage and control than ever before and really delivers a great
overall internet experience in their homes."
Earlier this month, Comcast launched Xfinity
xFi, a new and personalized Wi-Fi experience 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. xFi gives customers who have an xFi-compatible
gateway unprecedented visibility and control over one o the most
important technologies in their home.
What's more, most Xfinity Internet customers also have complimentary
access to nearly 17 million Wi-Fi hotspots nationwide. Customers can
simply select "xfinitywifi" from the list of available networks on their
laptops or mobile devices and enter their Xfinity ID or email and
password. Hotspots can be found by either downloading the free Xfinity
Wi-Fi App, available on iOS and Android (News - Alert) devices, or by visiting the
hotspot finder map on www.xfinity.com/wifi.
To receive the new internet speeds, most customers only need to re-set
their modems by unplugging the equipment from the power outlet. Comcast
will notify any customers who need to upgrade their equipment - those
who currently have a modem from the company will not be charged to
upgrade their equipment while those who own their own equipment will
need to either purchase new equipment or lease a modem from Comcast to
receive the increased speeds.
