Comcast to Deliver Gigabit Internet Service in Utah over Its Existing Network Infrastructure
April 25 2017 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Comcast announced today that it is launching a new internet
service that will deliver speeds up to 1 Gigabit-per-second (Gbps)
to residential customers throughout the state of Utah. Comcast will
use DOCSIS 3.1 technology to deliver these speeds over the
company’s existing network infrastructure.
“With our 1 Gig residential service, customers in Utah can take
advantage of super-fast internet speeds using the existing wiring
in their home,” said Merlin Jensen, Area VP of Technical
Operations. “We’ve been on a pace of doubling our network capacity
every 18 to 24 months, which ensures that we stay well ahead of
consumer demand, and we will continue to make investments in
Utah.”
“What I am most excited about is that Comcast’s residential 1
gig service is available throughout Utah – not just in specific
areas of the state. It’s important that superior internet speeds
are accessible to more people,” said Richard Nelson, President,
Utah Technology Council. “Comcast continues to play a crucial role
in Utah’s leadership as a high-tech community.”
The company’s new 1 Gigabit internet service will use existing
communications lines that are already in most people’s homes. As a
result, it has the potential to reach more homes even faster and
allows for broad deployment across communities. To enjoy the
service, all customers need to do is install a new DOCSIS 3.1
compatible cable modem that is capable of delivering gigabit
speeds.
The everyday price for 1 Gigabit service in Utah is $159.95,
without a contract. Two promotional prices will also be tested in
different areas with a one-year service agreement. For example, we
will test a $70.00 per month offer in certain areas in Salt Lake
City, Provo, and North Ogden, and test a $109.99 per month offer
across the rest of the state. Additional prices and promotions may
be tested in the future.
New and current customers in the state of Utah can call
1-800-Xfinity to learn about the new service and request additional
information.
