Comcast Officially Unveils Speed Increases in Northeast – Blast! Up from 105 to 150Mbps

Phillip Dampier July 7, 2015 Broadband Speed, Comcast/Xfinity, Consumer News 2 Comments

Comcast-LogoComcast today officially announced speed increases for its broadband customers in the northeastern U.S. that includes a nearly 50 percent speed boost for its Blast! tier.

  • Performance Pro: Customers subscribed to Comcast’s eligible triple play packages will get an upgrade to Performance Pro, raising speeds from 25 to 75Mbps;
  • Blast!: Customers signed up currently for 105Mbps will soon see speeds of 150Mbps.

“We’ve invested tens of billions of dollars to create a network that makes broadband widely available to the most homes, and allows us to continually deliver the fastest, most reliable Internet and Wi-Fi speeds in and out of the home,” said Kevin Casey, president of Comcast Cable’s Northeast Division, which includes 14 states from Maine to Virginia and the District of Columbia.

The new speeds and tiers will be available to the vast majority of new and existing customers starting later this month. To get the new speeds, customers may need to re-start their modems. 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. A list of approved modems can be found online at http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/.

Seems alot of ISP’s are raising the speeds lately, yet Time Warner here in
northeast Ohio is dragging their feet. The faster speeds are available here,
but I guess they will squeeze every dime from the 15/1 package they can.
15/1 is not even considered broadband anymore ! WTF…..

Wondering whether these speed increases will translate into price increases in the coming months.
Companies tend to offset their infrastructure spending and modem upgrade costs by increasing their rates.
Hopefully not this time.
