  • Performance upload speeds doubled to 100/10 Mbps; 
  • Blast speeds increased from 200/10 Mbps to 300/10 Mbps;
  • Extreme speeds increased from 400/20 Mbps to 600/20 Mbps.
  • Extreme Pro speeds increased from 800/20 Mbps to 900/20 Mbps; and
  • Gigabit Pro speeds will increase from 2/2 Gigabits per second (Gbps) to 3/3 Gigabits Gbps symmetrical nationwide. 

“Comcast’s more than 2,000 miles of fiber-dense network lines and other infrastructure serve a host of Southwest Michigan communities, and our more than 35,000 WiFi hotspots in the area allow residents to connect on the go,” said John Crowley, Comcast’s Regional Senior Vice President. “Comcast’s more than $850 million investment in its network in Michigan over the last three years and its ongoing investments make it possible for the company to deliver some of the fastest Internet speeds on the market, the most advanced telecommunications services for homes and business and a great experience to our customers.” 

 Comcast’s Xfinity Internet service is delivered using the company’s existing network architecture and the connections that are already in most customers’ homes.  Its network offers residential download speeds faster than a Gig over its current infrastructure already, making the company the largest provider of Gigabit speeds in the region and the country.

The network carries an immense amount of traffic and performed extraordinarily well during the pandemic. The company has doubled its network capacity every 2.5 years to stay well ahead of demand.
