Comcast begins rolling out a new version of gigabit internet service on Tuesday to Colorado customers that cuts the price of a similar broadband service nearly by half.
That’s because the new gigabit service, which is around $160 a month, uses a customer’s existing coaxial cable lines. Comcast’s original 2 gigabit service, which launched in Denver two years ago, uses fiber-optic lines, requires professional installation and costs around $300 per month.
“We’re pretty excited about this,” said Mike Spaulding, Comcast’s vice president of engineering. “Obviously, this is a big step forward on speed.”
With the software upgrades, Comcast can quadruple coaxial’s 250 mbps previous maximum. Translation: Download a two-hour movie in 8 seconds with the 1 gig service, compared to 60 to 90 seconds with typical broadband, according to Comcast.
Colorado is among a new batch of areas to get Comcast’s updated DOCSIS 3.1 technology, which requires a modem upgrade. The service first launched in Atlanta in March 2016. Last month, Utah became the first to get gigabit statewide.By the end of 2016, the number of gigabit connections was expected to grow 10 times to 10 million users, according to a forecast by Deloitte Global, a consulting firm. Comcast’s expansion follows the lead of smaller providers, including Google Fiber, which launched gigabit in Kansas City, Kan., in 2011.
In Colorado, just a few competitors offer gigabit service, including NextLight from the city of Longmont, and CenturyLink, which also offers gigabit in select Denver neighborhoods. Google Fiber, which owns Webpass, also offers a hybrid wireless service to apartments and multi-unit buildings in Denver. NextLight, which charges $49.95 a month, says the gigabit service is now available to most residents in Longmont — and between 50 to 55 percent who can order it, do.
If you want Comcast gigabit Internet in your area, call your local Comcast sales office and inquire about this offer. It may be in your area too.
