Today, Comcast accelerates the nation’s largest
and fastest multi-gig deployment and announced that its latest
Xfinity 10G network upgrade will be launched to 10 million homes
and businesses by the end of this month. These locations now have
the foundational network enhancements in place to begin deploying
DOCSIS 4.0, setting the stage for the introduction of new
symmetrical multi-gigabit Internet options before the end of 2023
that can be delivered across existing networks with less cost.

To date, and ahead of schedule, more than 40 markets across
Comcast service areas have implemented network improvements
including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Miami,
Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Seattle, San Francisco, Washington
D.C., and others. The full deployment of these technical
capabilities will reach more than 50 million homes and businesses
by 2025. In addition to fast speeds, DOCSIS 4.0 technologies will
deliver even greater reliability and capacity to power multiple
data-intensive applications.
“Streaming live sports, 4K gaming, hybrid work, and virtual
reality have gone mainstream in just a few years, and gig speeds,
capacity, reliability, and low latency are key factors making our
connectivity experience superior to the competition,” said Dave
Watson, CEO, Comcast Cable. “Our definition of reliability has to
shift from merely being always-on, to powering multiple
data-intensive applications across dozens of devices, and the
investments we are making in our network are creating immediate
benefits for our customers.”
WiFi Boost Guarantee and Storm-Ready WiFi The
company also unveiled plans to rollout new WiFi features in the
coming months that build upon its industry-leading service
reliability with a guarantee offer that increases support for
in-home WiFi, and a new device with cellular and battery backup to
help keep customers connected even when the power goes out.
Low Latency Features For applications like gaming,
virtual reality, and videoconferencing where lower latency is
increasingly important, later this year Comcast will also unveil
new low latency features that will enable an even better experience
than they have today.
Recently, Comcast accelerated the transformation of its network
to a virtualized, cloud-based architecture that is fully prepared
for the emergence of more robust 10G technologies and DOCSIS 4.0.
This network architecture enables Comcast to deliver symmetrical,
multi-gigabit speeds to both residential and business customers,
which technically limited fixed wireless providers are unable to
deliver. Comcast’s ongoing network evolution also furthers its
commitment to provide a cleaner, greener Internet by doubling
network energy efficiency by 2030. We estimate this will avoid the
equivalent amount of electricity needed to power a half a million
homes for a year.
The significant advances Comcast has made over the past 24
months, including several world firsts, coupled with one of the
world’s first WiFi 6E gateways and powerful Xfinity Pod WiFi
extenders, are delivering a revolutionary connectivity experience
that is powering Comcast homes. At this critical time in the
nation’s broadband deployment, Comcast’s continued advancement of
new 10G technologies will position it as the clear leader for years
to come.
