Comcast Internet customers across Washington state are getting an early Christmas present – much faster speeds.
The company announced Tuesday it has doubled the download speeds for three service tiers: “Performance” now offers speeds up to 50 Mbps, up from 25 Mbps; “Blast” is now 105 Mbps, up from 50 Mbps; and “Extreme 105” has been bumped to 150 Mbps, Comcast says in a release.
The increased speeds come at no additional cost to the customer.
The increased speed should take effect automatically over the next few days, but you can get it immediately by simply re-starting your modem.
Some customers may need to upgrade their modem to receive the increased speeds, the company says. Customers who lease their modems from Comcast won’t be charged anything additional.
