Millions of Xfinity Internet customers can enjoy faster speeds at no additional cost, Xfinity announced yesterday. As the demand for data in connected homes continues to increase, Xfinity is ensuring customers can stream, surf and share on networks and services they can trust today and in the future.
Starting today, new and existing customers can enjoy the following speed improvements:
-
Connection: 75 Mbps to 150 Mbps

Live sports, gaming and other data-rich applications are pushing internet consumption to new heights. Over the past two decades, we’ve regularly increased speeds to give customers the connectivity they need to power their increasingly connected lives. And, since funding for the Affordable Connect plan may not be renewed, we’re really working on increasing speeds for those customers this year so they can take advantage of these new features.
