After testing for two years, This week Comcast began a new deployment that will allow more than 50 million US households to access its new 2Gbps service by the end of 2025. A report by The Verge Comcast said that before the end of the year it would offer multi-gig internet packages in 34 cities across the country, with initial rollouts already underway in Augusta, Colorado Springs, Panama City Beach, and Philadelphia.
Comcast users shortly see an improvement in upload speeds. For instance, in Colorado Springs, Comcast says some tiers offer upload speeds up to 10 times faster than previously possible.
Thanks to a technology called DOCSIS 4.0., The Gigabit 2x plan will initially limit customers to uploading files at 200Mbps. However, starting in 2023, multi-gig symmetrical speeds will be possible.
Once that work is complete, it will have the network in place to offer 10Gbps download speeds and 6Gbps upload speeds on the same connection.
