Comcast Business announced Tuesday it increased speeds for customers nationwide — at no additional cost.
Introducing its fastest internet plans yet, Ultimate Speed for Business offers Comcast Business customers up to triple the speeds.
The following plans are now available:
- Essential: 50 Mbps–150 Mbps
- Standard: 100 Mbps–300 Mbps
- Performance: 250 Mbps–500 Mbps
- Advanced: 500 Mbps–800 Mbps
Upstream speeds also increased for the above plans, as well as for Comcast Business’s Gigabit Extra and 2 Gigabit plans.
Christian Nascimento is vice president, Connectivity and Digital Experience, for Comcast Business. In a press release announcing the speed increases, he said that for today’s businesses, a network that can’t keep up can mean missed opportunities – and revenue.
“Comcast Business is committed to being the leading connectivity solutions provider for all businesses and is continually investing in and upgrading our network – making it faster, safer, smarter, and more reliable,” said Nascimento. “That’s why we’re introducing Ultimate Speed for Business – our fastest plans yet.”
Comcast Business also introduced a new portfolio of multi-gigabit, symmetrical internet products for customers powered by DOCSIS 4.0. These aim to dramatically increase upstream speeds without sacrificing downstream speeds. Deployment of this product has started in select markets, including areas of Philadelphia, and will continue to roll out nationwide over the next few years.
The company notes the speed increases are possible due to its fiber-based network, which serves more than 60 million homes and businesses across the country. Comcast says the system is the culmination of years of research, technological breakthroughs and massive investments. Since 2018, the company has invested more than $20 billion in development and infrastructure.
“We’re proud to increase download and upload speeds and offer our customers greater connectivity, value, and peace of mind,” Nascimento added.
