Tech leader's sizable investment brings new
high-speed connectivity options to South
Miami, Coral Terrace and
West Miami
MIAMI, July 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new and powerful Internet
network is now online in Miami-Dade's 33155 and 33143 zip codes,
connecting communities to high-speed, reliable Internet. Thousands
of homes and businesses in parts of South
Miami, Coral Terrace and
West Miami can now
access Xfinity and Comcast Business services for the
first time. Comcast invested $7.5
million to make this technology infrastructure project
possible, giving Miamians more advanced connectivity options.
This new, next-generation network gives these communities access
to Internet speeds that outperform competitors — up to 1.2 gigabits
per second (Gbps) for residential customers and up to 100 Gbps for
businesses. With this fiber-to-the-home technology, customers can
access symmetrical speeds which means faster uploads than ever
before.
"Miami is a vibrant place where
anything is possible, especially when there's easy access to fast
and reliable Internet. We're proud to build a fiber network right
in the heart of Miami Dade
County," said Jeff Buzzelli,
Senior Vice President of Comcast's Florida Region. "Residents can
now access symmetrical speeds. That's ideal especially if you work
from home or have a kid who loves to play video games. We're
working every day across Florida
to bring the latest technology to every corner of the state."
Miami-Dade residents located in
zip codes 33155 and 33143 can learn more and sign up for Internet
by visiting Xfinity.com.

Comcast's network and Internet experience are powering Houston

than 1 billion devices across the company's network annually. With
the next-generation Xfinity gateways we deliver the most advanced
WiFi technology carrying three times more bandwidth to power
streaming, gaming, videoconferencing, and more,
simultaneously.
- Fastest Internet: More than a third of Xfinity
Internet customers subscribe to gigabit speed products. Recently
Comcast connected the first customers in the world to a DOCSIS 4.0
connection, delivering symmetrical gig speeds over existing
connections in customers' homes with plans to continue to rollout
these speeds across the country over the coming years.
- Unprecedented Coverage: The latest Xfinity Gateway
provides a more reliable connection throughout the home. Customers
can get wall-to-wall WiFi coverage with a powerful WiFi Boost Pod
that extends coverage to hard-to-reach areas of the home.
- Most Reliable Connection: Comcast is scaling the
nation's largest and most reliable network that passes 62 million
homes and businesses and counting. The company launched Storm-Ready
WiFi, a new device that comes powered with cellular and battery
backup to help keep customers connected even when the power goes
out.
- Ultra-Low Latency: The Xfinity network and the
latest Xfinity Gateway are a powerful combination that deliver
ultra-low latency for those moments when response times matter most
like video games, a fast-growing category with Xfinity households
averaging more than one gaming console per home.
