Comcast says that thousands of customers in Southwest Michigan will soon be waking up to faster Internet, thanks to an Xfinity system upgrade. The country’s largest gigabit network is boosting speeds on its most popular plans beginning this week, providing Southwest Michigan customers with faster connectivity experiences as they stream the latest 4K movie, game online, videoconference and more, all at the same time.
“Comcast’s more than 2,000 miles of fiber-dense network serves a host of Southwest Michigan communities, and our more than 35,000 WiFi hotspots in the area allow connectivity on the go,” said John Crowley, Comcast’s Regional Senior Vice President. “Comcast’s more than $840 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 businesses and a great experience for our customers.”
Beginning this week, new and existing customers will be able to take advantage of the following plans’ upgraded speeds:
Connect from 50 Mbps to 75 Mbps
Connect More from 100 Mbps to 200 Mbps
Fast from 300 Mbps to 400 Mbps
Superfast from 600 Mbps to 800 Mbps
Gigabit (formerly Ultrafast) from 900 Mbps to 1 Gbps
In addition, Comcast will also be doubling upload speeds nationally for all Internet Essentials Plus customers, from 100/10 Mbps to 100/20 Mbps. Internet Essentials Plus includes a cable modem, access to millions of WiFi hotspots, and unlimited data for $29.95 per month; and customers who qualify for the Affordable Connectivity Program can get this tier of service for free.
