Comcast Customers Might Not Realize They Now Have Faster Internet
DENVER (CBS4) – Residential Comcast customers in Denver and Colorado Springs can now enjoy a speed increase that went into effect on Tuesday.
According to Comcast, the company increased download speeds free of charge for the following three service tiers:
- "Performance" now offers speeds up to 50 Mbps, up from 25 Mbps.
- "Blast" is now 105 Mbps, up from 50 Mbps.
- "Extreme 105" has been bumped to 150 Mbps.
"We want our customers to have a great online experience whether they're streaming video, posting photos or just checking email," said Eric Schaefer, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Data and Communications Services. "The speed of your Internet service is an important contributing factor to that experience."
The speed increases will occur automatically over the next few days, according to Comcast. But customers who re-start their modem can get immediate access to the upgrade.
"Comcast will notify those customers who may need to upgrade their hardware to receive the increased speeds. This also will come at no additional cost to customers who lease their modems from Comcast."
