LIVERMORE, Calif. — News Direct — Comcast California

“For more than 20 years, we’ve thanked our customers by increasing speeds every year,” said Emily Waldorf, senior vice president of Consumer Internet Services at Comcast. “Live sports, gaming and other data Rich apps are driving internet consumption to new heights, and since funding for affordable connectivity plans may not be renewed, we’re really focused on increasing speeds across our value portfolio this year so all of our customers can take advantage of these new features. “

Value beyond fast
