Comcast to Increase Internet Speeds for Customers in Washington State at No Additional Cost

Customers Can Stream Shows, Video Chat or Use At Least Four Devices
at Once with Xfinity’s Performance Internet

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Comcast today announced it is increasing the speeds of its Xfinity
Internet speed package – Performance Internet – for existing customers
in Washington State at no additional cost.

Performance Internet customers will see their download speed increase
from 50 Mbps to up to 70 Mbps. Customers can expect to experience the
new speeds by March 1.

“Our customers tell us that speed is important to them, so we regularly
increase internet speeds,” said Kyle McSlarrow, Regional Senior Vice
President of Comcast’s Washington Region. “We want to make sure
customers have a great experience using our products and services and
can do what they want to do online. Comcast is committed to delivering
the fastest speeds to our customers.”

To get the increased speeds, most customers will simply need to restart
their modems when notified by Comcast that the new speed is available.
Comcast will also notify customers who may need to upgrade their modems
to receive the increased speeds. Customers who lease modems from Comcast
will be able to receive upgraded modems at no additional charge.
Customers who own their own modems and need to upgrade their modems to
receive the increased speeds will need to purchase a new modem or can
lease a new modem from Comcast.

Comcast has invested billions of dollars in its network, locally and
nationally, to meet consumer demand, and it has now increased speeds 17
times in the last 16 years, delivering speeds in most of Washington from
10 Mbps up to 2 Gbps for residential customers and up to 10 Gbps for
business customers. Together with other technology and network
deployments since 2010, Comcast will have invested $1 billion in
Washington State to upgrade our reliability and capacity, deploy new
gigabit services and reach new residential and business customers.

Comcast offers a wide variety of speed tiers to meet every household’s
needs, whether they occasionally surf the web or spend hours streaming
movies. In 2016, Comcast announced that it will start offering a
residential gigabit internet service to customers in Seattle this year.
The company is delivering these super-fast speeds with DOCSIS
3.1 technology, which uses the existing wiring that most people
already have in their homes.

Xfinity continues to deliver the best in-home WiFi experience, and most
Xfinity Internet customers can enjoy complimentary access to more than
15 million Xfinity WiFi hotspots nationwide by selecting “xfinitywifi”
from the list of available networks on their laptops or mobile devices
and entering their Xfinity ID or email and password. Hotspots can be
found by either downloading the Xfinity WiFi App, available for free on
iOS and Android devices, or by visiting the hotspot finder map on www.xfinity.com/wifi.
