Comcast Increases Internet Speeds For Most Customers From Maine Through Virginia

Comcast announced that it has increased speeds for its most popular Xfinity Internet tiers, providing an extra boost for millions of residential customers across 14 northeastern states from Maine through Virginia and Washington (DC). The speed increases follow on the heels of Comcast’s 2021 WiFi Trends Report, published in February 2022, which shared key findings detailing why WiFi is integral to Americans, with the number of devices connected to WiFi skyrocketing by 12X since 2018 as Xfinity households connected nearly 1 billion devices in 2021. Xfinity Internet service is delivered using Comcast’s existing network architecture and the connections that are already in most customers’ homes – no digging up streets, sidewalks or yards required. Over the last decade, Comcast has invested nearly $30 billion to build an expansive, fiber-dense network comprised of 191,000 route miles that carries an immense amount of traffic throughout the pandemic. The company has doubled its network capacity every 2.5 years to stay well ahead of demand.
