Bandwidth fiends rejoice!
Comcast is making the leap from broadband to wideband with the launch of next-generation DOCSIS 3.0 in the Pittsburgh area and portions of West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland. With wideband, Comcast will introduce a new echelon of Internet speed tiers, which will redefine the customer experience online and create a platform for Internet innovation in the years ahead.
This enables Comcast to offer the fastest speeds available today in the Pittsburgh area, including the Extreme 50 tier with download speeds of up to 50 Mbps. Wideband will also enable Comcast to double speeds for the majority of existing high-speed Internet customers at no additional cost, so says Comcast.
“Wideband utilizes our existing fiber-optic network in neighborhoods across our footprint, and this is just the beginning,” said Linda Hossinger, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Three Rivers Region. “Combined with our fiber-optic network, wideband gives us the capability of meeting the needs of our customers for many years to come by offering even faster speeds in the future.”
