Across the Country

KEY TAKEAWAYS

New Speeds Rolling Out This Week as Xfinity Continues to Deliver a Fast,
Reliable and Secure Connectivity Experience that Others Can't Match

Network Innovation Continues as Xfinity Evolves to a 10G Future

PHILADELPHIA, PA

More than 20 million Xfinity households across the country will soon be
waking up to faster Internet, thanks to Xfinity. The country's largest
gigabit network is boosting speeds on its most popular plans beginning this
week, providing customers with an even better connectivity experience as
they stream the latest 4K blockbuster, game online, video conference, and
more, all at the same time. With this latest round of speed increases,
Xfinity continues to provide unparalleled value compared to other providers
- including significantly faster speeds and better reliability than mobile
and 5G Home Internet.

The announcement comes on the heels of Comcast's launch
<https://corporate.comcast.com/press/releases/comcast-expand-evolve-wifi-lar
gest-multi-gigabit-network>  of the nation's largest- and fastest-ever
multi-gig deployment that will reach more than 50 million homes and
businesses with 2 Gbps speeds before the end of 2025.

"The number of devices connected in Xfinity households has skyrocketed 12X
since 2018, and the need for fast, reliable, and secure Internet will
continue to grow," said Bill Connors, President of Xfinity, Comcast Cable.
"That's why today, Xfinity is increasing speeds for most of our customers
across the country."

Benefits Beyond Speed - Reliability and Security

The benefits of Xfinity go beyond faster speeds. Xfinity's comprehensive
connectivity experience <https://corporate.comcast.com/company/xfinity>
combines a powerful network built to deliver Internet in the home, reliably
and securely, with cutting-edge hardware and software.

*	Reliable - Next-generation Xfinity gateways
<https://corporate.comcast.com/press/releases/comcast-wifi-6e-fastest-router
-gateway-10G-low-latency>  deliver the most advanced WiFi technology, WiFi
6E <https://corporate.comcast.com/stories/what-is-wifi-6e> , with 3x more
bandwidth to power hundreds of devices, gigabit speeds over WiFi, and
ultra-low latency for those moments when response times matter most like
playing video games or using virtual reality. xFi Pods extend that coverage
to hard-to-reach areas of the home, when needed.
*	Secure - xFi Advanced Security - included free for customers who
lease an Xfinity gateway - protects connected devices from malware and other
threats at the gateway before they reach devices and the household members
who are using them. Xfinity has stopped billions of cyber security threats
since introducing the service a few years ago.

A Network Built for the Future

Comcast's Xfinity Internet service is delivered using Comcast's existing
network architecture and the connections that are already in most customers'
homes - no digging up yards required. Faster speeds will be just one of the
consumer benefits made possible through Comcast's continued efforts to
evolve its entire network <https://corporate.comcast.com/our-network>  to
10G.

10G is a next-generation technology platform supported by a global
collaboration <https://www.10gplatform.com/>  of companies in the Internet
industry focused on building networks that stay ahead of consumer demand for
connectivity. Recently, Comcast successfully tested
<https://corporate.comcast.com/press/releases/comcast-10g-powered-multi-giga
bit-symmetrical-speeds-network>  the final component needed to deliver
multi-gigabit symmetrical speeds - powered by 10G and DOCSIS 4.0 technology
- throughout its entire network. In addition to fast speeds, 10G efforts
will provide even greater network reliability, lower latency, faster
troubleshooting, and increased energy efficiency.
