Comcast Launches Multi-Gig Speeds in North Jersey 

Comcast has made network updates that reach the majority of homes and businesses in North Jersey to deliver next-generation Internet speeds, offering download speeds up to 2.1 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) and upload speeds up to 300 megabits-per-second (Mbps). The new speeds are available through existing connections in homes and businesses throughout the region.  

Over the last three years Comcast invested more than $900 million in technology innovations and fiber infrastructure in New Jersey alone. Comcast maintains more than 48,000 miles of fiber-rich network infrastructure throughout the state which powers hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses and tens of thousands of WiFi hotspots. This is all backed by America’s smartest and most reliable converged network. 

“Through innovation and investment, we are delivering cutting-edge solutions and products powered by AI,” said Dan Bonelli, Comcast Regional Senior Vice President. “Our customers benefit from more than just enhanced speeds – we’re offering a more secure and reliable connection than ever that also supports a truly differentiated wireless experience through Xfinity Mobile.”  

Comcast is constantly upgrading and leveraging AI throughout its network as part of the company’s broader strategy to make it smarter and faster. Earlier this year, Comcast began deploying ultra-low lag technology that further enhances the responsiveness of its network to deliver popular applications like streaming and gaming. The company also launched WiFi PowerBoost, which can deliver up to gig speeds to Xfinity Mobile customers’ smartphones at home with the latest Xfinity gateways, and on the go when they connect to millions of hotspots, regardless of their home Internet speed. In fact, Ookla’s latest Speedtest Intelligence^® research shows that Xfinity Mobile’s speeds have increased 150 percent, making it the fastest mobile provider in our markets¹.  

Residents and business owners can visit Xfinity.com or one of 23 Xfinity Stores in New Jersey to sign up for Internet and mobile services, and to learn more about our business solutions. Business owners can also join the thousands of businesses that are powered by Comcast Business by visiting ComcastBusiness.com. Customers looking for simple, prepaid connectivity options can sign up for NOW Internet and NOW Mobile, backed by the Xfinity network with no contracts and no credit checks required. In addition to Xfinity’s full suite of Internet products, eligible residents continue to have access to the company’s Internet Essentials program that provides low-cost, high-speed broadband for lower-income households.
