Comcast Offers Faster High-Speed Internet for Business Customers

May 6, 2008

Comcast recently announced that the cable company has doubled its high-speed Internet speeds for its Business Class Internet service tiers across the U.S. The service, available at no additional cost to Comcast’s business class Internet customers, features download speeds up to 16 Mbps and upload speeds up to 2 Mbps.

New Service Offers Ultra-Fast Downloads

Through the new service, business customers will be able to download a 220 MB file in less than two minutes compared to 10 minutes with a 3.0 Mbps DSL connection. Comcast business customers can access even faster download speeds through the company’s PowerBoost™ Internet speed enhancer, which is designed to speed up downloads for Software Service Pack, Digital X-Rays, and PowerPoint presentations. With PowerBoost™, business customers can also upload files twice as quickly.

Comcast Offers Bundled Services to Business Class Customers

Comcast also recently launched its Business Class Bundle, where for the first time, business owners can bundle their high-speed Internet service with digital voice and video service. In addition, Comcast is the only major U.S. Internet service provider to offer Microsoft Communications Services at no additional cost with its broadband services, allowing its customers to benefit from a large enterprise communications infrastructure with fully synced
e-mail, shared calendars, contacts and tasks.

Comcast Plans to Continue High-Speed Internet Enhancements

According to a company news release, Comcast plans to continue to increase Internet speeds as it evolves from broadband to wideband with the introduction of DOCSIS 3.0 (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications) technology, “Comcast is dedicated to and focused on offering a better broadband Internet experience so business customers are equipped with technology solutions that save time, increase productivity, and offer more value,” said Bill Stemper, president of Comcast Business Services. “We will continue to innovate to keep small and medium-sized businesses on the cutting edge of new technology.”
