Multi-Gig Download Speeds and up to 10x Faster
Upload Speeds Available Now
All Part of Comcast’s 3-year, $909 Million
Investment in its Technology and Infrastructure in
Massachusetts
Comcast today announced it turbo-charged its next-generation
network, with 2 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) download speeds and up
to 10x faster upload speeds now available to all customers in
Holyoke, Longmeadow, West Springfield and Westfield, MA over the
existing connections in their homes and businesses. This speed
increase, which is made possible by Comcast’s ongoing investment in
its network, paves the way for Comcast to deliver symmetrical
multigigabit speeds in the near future. In addition, work is
nearly complete to provide these faster speeds to all customers
in Southwick and Springfield, MA with the vast majority of
those customers already experiencing these faster speeds.
“Providing the best WiFi in-and-out of the home for our
customers across Western Massachusetts is a priority for Comcast,”
said Carolyne Hannan, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s New
England Region. “Thanks to decades of innovation, Comcast
continually provides a faster and more reliable Internet
experience, which is backed by our next-generation network and an
immediate benefit to our customers in Holyoke, Longmeadow, West
Springfield and Westfield.”
Comcast continues to make significant enhancements to its
state-of-the-art network to ensure it delivers all the speed,
capacity, reliability and security customers need today, and well
into the future. The investments made recently in Holyoke,
Longmeadow, West Springfield and Westfield have many added benefits
beyond just speed.
Beyond Just Faster
Speeds
As part of this network evolution, every Xfinity customer in
Holyoke, Longmeadow, West Springfield and Westfield has the fastest

automatically optimize performance – often before customers even

our customers have an always-on connection.

highly-skilled, industry-certified cyber security experts working
24/7 to protect customer data. All included with and at no
additional cost to customers with an Xfinity Gateway. Just download

- Lower latency: Reduced latency or “lag” enables better
performance of real-time applications like video conferencing,
multi-player on-line gaming, live video streaming and VR
experiences.
This project is part of Comcast’s commitment to Massachusetts,
where the company has invested almost $909 million in technology
and fiber infrastructure upgrades, including these network
innovations, over the last three years. More information on our
