Comcast customers in Santa Maria, Lompoc, and Orcutt can now surf the web faster than ever as the cable and Internet provider announced it’s upgrading from broadband to wideband.
As part of the deployment, Comcast is launching two premium speed tiers to its residential and business class customers. The residential tiers include Extreme 50, offering up to 50 Mbps of downstream speed and up to 10 Mbps of upstream speed at $99.95 per month; and Ultra, offering up to 22 Mbps of downstream speed and up to 5 Mbps of upstream speed at $62.95 per month. Comcast will also double speeds for its existing Performance tier customers.
Business customers can also benefit by signing up for the Deluxe 50 Mbps/10 Mbps tier for $189.95 per month. Existing business class customers will also receive complimentary speed increases—speeds on the Starter tier will be doubled to up to 12 Mbps and a new Premium Tier also will be introduced, offering speeds up to 22 Mbps for $99.95 per month.
