Today, Comcast accelerates the nation's largest and fastest multi-gig deployment and announced that its latest Xfinity 10G network upgrade will be launched to 10 million homes and businesses by the end of this month. These locations now have the foundational network enhancements in place to begin deploying DOCSIS 4.0, setting the stage for the introduction of new symmetrical multi-gigabit Internet options before the end of 2023 that can be delivered across existing networks with less cost.

To date, and ahead of schedule, more than 40 markets across Comcast service areas have implemented network improvements including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Miami, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Seattle, San Francisco, Washington D.C., and others. The full deployment of these technical capabilities will reach more than 50 million homes and businesses by 2025. In addition to fast speeds, DOCSIS 4.0 technologies will deliver even greater reliability and capacity to power multiple data-intensive applications.




"Streaming live sports, 4K gaming, hybrid work, and virtual reality have gone mainstream in just a few years, and gig speeds, capacity, reliability, and low latency are key factors making our connectivity experience superior to the competition," said Dave Watson, CEO, Comcast Cable. "Our definition of reliability has to shift from merely being always-on, to powering multiple data-intensive applications across dozens of devices, and the investments we are making in our network are creating immediate benefits for our customers."

WiFi Boost Guarantee and Storm-Ready WiFi
The company also unveiled plans to rollout new WiFi features in the coming months that build upon its industry-leading service reliability with a guarantee offer that increases support for in-home WiFi, and a new device with cellular and battery backup to help keep customers connected even when the power goes out.

Low Latency Features
For applications like gaming, virtual reality, and videoconferencing where lower latency is increasingly important, later this year Comcast will also unveil new low latency features that will enable an even better experience than they have today.

Recently, Comcast accelerated the transformation of its network to a virtualized, cloud-based architecture that is fully prepared for the emergence of more robust 10G technologies and DOCSIS 4.0. This network architecture enables Comcast to deliver symmetrical, multi-gigabit speeds to both residential and business customers, which technically limited fixed wireless providers are unable to deliver. Comcast's ongoing network evolution also furthers its commitment to provide a cleaner, greener Internet by doubling network energy efficiency by 2030. We estimate this will avoid the equivalent amount of electricity needed to power a half a million homes for a year.

The significant advances Comcast has made over the past 24 months, including several world firsts, coupled with one of the world's first WiFi 6E gateways and powerful Xfinity Pod WiFi extenders, are delivering a revolutionary connectivity experience that is powering Comcast homes. At this critical time in the nation's broadband deployment, Comcast's continued advancement of new 10G technologies will position it as the clear leader for years to come.

Here were i am it's $25 for a 300 \ 300Mbs, which works out about 37MB\s.


Comcasts i bet about $70+ for just 200-300 \ 10Mbs

I'm about 40 miles outside one of those major cities so who knows when I'll see those speeds. Probably come with a nice price hike too.. stuck on measly 10Mbps uploads

There's a very good reason that they have been trying to rebrand. Their horrible reputation as one of America's most hated (monopoly) corporations. It's why we constantly see headlines about them, like this, which is relevant to this article because it's about Comcast's false claims about coverage.

Comcast gave false map data to FCC—and didn’t admit it until Ars got involved​

Comcrapst customers get ready, cause "Accelerated rollout" ALWAYS = accelerated price hikes & new fees too..... :cry:.:eek:.:fear:

They recently slapped my mother with a $150 "out of service fee" because I relocated her modem from the basement to an upstairs shelf and had to disconnect everything & reroute the cables, which thanks to my pre-planning, took all of 1 hr before everything was back up & running again, but they said they had to "expend significant resources" to reestablish the proper connections (but everything worked just fine as soon as I plugged it in & the modem & router booted up)....

when I asked for a detailed WTF explanation about the fee, they said that information was confidential/not publically available......soooo much BS....

I have filed complaints with the FCC, BBB, PUC, and the local AG's Consumer Affairs office, but havent heard back from them yet....

Dam, it be way more expensive around here, but still that upload sucks no end.

Either way got very tired of Comcasts persistent trying to fck us other every year ( over 12 years ).

Cable providers are desperate. What's funny is that Cox didn't fight to keep me as a customer (even though I'd been a customer of theirs for over 10 years at that point) when I switched to fiber. Said I want to cancel service and they really didn't put up a fight.

I do have Frontier now trying desperately to get me as a customer. Sorry guys heard enough bad shit about you I'll keep my gig service from my current FttH provider. Now if only my current provider would update their network for 2.5gig speeds...

The only two non-Comcast fiber options in my area are Fidium (Consolidated Communications,) and Breezeline (Atlantic Broadband.) Both offer symmetric speeds at similar cost as to what I'm paying for Comcast, however I've heard stories about Fidium screwing you over and having an archaic network fabric (PPPoE anyone?) I haven't quite looked into Breezeline yet. Although my initial impressions from what I read is that their service isn't too great either.

As I understand it, you need one of those DOCSIS 3 modems with the 2.5GB port on it and a router that also can handle 2.5GB in order to get north of 950Mbit on Comcast's service.

I hate how the monopoly on isp's is still a thing. I tried to change my data+tv package years back and got what I needed, but my speed was 'upgraded' to the new base rate. I hate how I cant pay less to keep the same good speed I had before. I am already only using 250mb, why do i need to pay the 350mb price for example. I am pinching pennies while the ISP tells you take it or leave it. Atleast take the data cap off!

Still waiting on Google Fiber to be a viable third option in my State. The current duopoly between Xfinity aka Comcast and MaBell aka AT&T hasn't given most cities faster speeds for cheaper prices. Nor is there any real form of competition between the two.
