Comcast Readies 2 Gbps Residential Service in California

Comcast will roll out its residential multi-gigabit broadband service to nearly three million California homes starting in June.  Gigabit Pro is a symmetrical, 2 Gigabit-per-second service that will be delivered via a fiber-to-the-home solution and offered to customers in the Chico, Fresno, Marysville/Yuba City, Merced, Modesto, Monterey, Sacramento, Salinas, San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Barbara County, Stockton and Visalia metro areas.

In addition, Comcast announced its 15th speed increase in 13 years for its other broadband Internet tiers. The company will increase its Performance tier from 50 Mbps to 75 Mbps and its Blast tier from 105 Mbps to 150 Mbps, both at no additional cost to customers.

Comcast noted that it has been doubling the capacity of its network every 18 months.  Additionally, the company has been delivering multi-gig (up to 10 Gbps) Ethernet service to businesses in California since 2011.
