Comcast Business (NASDAQ:CMCSA) has launched DOCSIS 3.1-based Internet service to business customers in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States including Greater Boston; Greater Philadelphia; New Jersey; and northern Delaware; as well as in Baltimore; Charlottesville, VA; and Washington, DC. Additional areas throughout the company's national network footprint are slated to deploy on a rolling basis through the fall. The rollout expands on the company's existing DOCSIS 3.1-based Internet availability in Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit, Chattanooga, Huntsville and Miami.
Comcast's "Business Internet 1 Gig" and "Business Internet 500" speed tiers are now available to business customers in Comcast's Northeast and Mid-Atlantic service areas using the company's existing network.
"Comcast is building the nation's largest gig-speed network. We have been at the forefront of DOCSIS 3.1 deployment, and today's rollout further demonstrates our commitment to bringing this transformational technology to all businesses in our footprint," said Kevin O'Toole, senior vice president of Product Management at Comcast Business. "Our gig-speed network allows businesses to quickly and easily scale network capacity at their locations to suit their individual needs and to support new technology applications on-site or in the cloud."
In addition to the markets announced today, Comcast Business plans to launch Business Internet 1 Gig and Business Internet 500 in the majority of its service areas throughout 2017 and into 2018. Pricing for the services varies based on a business's location or number of locations to be served and the services to which the business currently subscribes, and customers can contact their local Comcast salesperson or agent/partner for more information. Businesses already served by Comcast can also upgrade to Business Internet 1 Gig or Business Internet 500.
