Comcast Increases Customer Download Speeds

Comcast has announced an increase in download speeds for some of its most popular Xfinity internet packages for customers in Kentucky. 

In a Thursday press release, the company announced that download speeds for the company's performance tier will jump from 60 Mbps to 100 Mbps, while Blast! speeds will increase from 150 to 200 Mbps, Extreme will move from 250 to 300 Mbps, and Extreme Pro will be upgraded from 400 to 600 Mbps.  

About 85 percent of Comcast's Internet customers in Kentucky subscribe to one of these tiers and will have their download speeds upgraded, whether they purchase Xfinity Internet on a stand-alone basis or as part of a package.  

Over the next several weeks, customers who lease a gateway will automatically receive the new speeds without having to reset their modems. Other customers who purchased their own modems should check online to see if they need a new device that is capable of handling these faster speeds (http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/).
