Atlantic Broadband grows DOCSIS 3.1 in MD

Atlantic Broadband is expanding its gigabit Internet deployment for residential and business customers in Cumberland, MD.

The launch, based on DOCSIS 3.1, is part of Atlantic Broadband's expansion initiative aimed to be completed by the end of the summer, at which time the company plans to have 1 Gbps Internet speeds available to most of its service footprint, extending across 11 states from Maine to Florida.

Atlantic Broadband launched gigabit Internet in Connecticut in 2016 and a year later in Miami. Additional launches occurred in New Hampshire/Maine, southern Maryland, and South Carolina.

"Atlantic Broadband is dedicated to providing its customers in Cumberland with the latest gigabit speeds and internet technology," said Curt Kosko, Atlantic Broadband's senior vice president and general manager. "This expansion will provide homes and businesses in the area with access to transformative internet speeds."
