Comcast Boosts Xfinity Internet Speeds

Comcast is enhancing its Xfinity internet speeds at no additional cost for numerous users, a move that the company undertakes annually, with the 2025 upgrades currently being rolled out. A significant number of subscribers will experience double the upload speeds they had previously, while others will see an increase of 50 percent.

Comparison with Fiber Internet

Although it is commendable that Comcast is upgrading its upload speeds, it is worth noting that fiber internet typically offers matching download and upload speeds. For instance, Google Fiber and Verizon Fios provide symmetrical or near-symmetrical speeds, showcasing a different approach to internet service provision.

Download Speed Upgrades

Comcast’s download speeds are also increasing across most tiers. The top-tier Gigabit x2 plan has received a 100Mbps download speed boost, bringing its total download speed to 2.1Gbps. However, the upload speed for this plan remains unchanged at 300Mbps.

Free Upgrades and Future Plans

The company has announced that more than 20 million customers will receive a free upgrade as part of this rollout. Furthermore, Comcast aims to offer 2Gbps service to over 50 million homes and businesses by the end of this year, marking a significant expansion of its high-speed internet services.

Promotional Offer

In addition to the speed upgrades, both new and existing Xfinity internet customers can benefit from a promotional offer. Customers who subscribe to a plan with speeds of 400 Mbps or faster can receive a line of unlimited Xfinity Mobile at no extra cost for a year, providing added value to their internet subscription.
