Comcast bringing its next-generation Xfinity 10G Network to town.
Comcast announced its officially launching residential and businesses services in Manhattan. Residents throughout the village will have access to Comcast’s full suite of Xfinity services, including Internet speeds faster than a gig, and local businesses can sign up for the company’s full suite of Comcast Business services. Comcast began rolling out services recently and will complete its build across the town during the coming months. The company will notify residents when service becomes available at their address.
Services in Manhattan will be delivered over the company’s next-generation Xfinity 10G Network, which enables even smarter, faster, and more reliable Internet service; brings wall-to-wall WiFi coverage and support for the burgeoning number of connected devices – ranging from streaming devices and smart speakers to exercise equipment and smart TVs – in people’s homes; and brings low-latency and ultimately symmetrical multi-gig speeds.
“We’re pleased to welcome Comcast to town,” said Manhattan Chamber of Commerce President Kristy Byers. “Access to fast, reliable Internet and telecommunications services is critical to meet the current and future needs of our increasingly digital world.”
“We’re proud to bring all our services and our fastest Internet speeds to Manhattan,” said Chris Smith, Comcast’s Greater Chicago Region Senior Vice President. “And we’re especially proud about becoming part of the fabric of the community and playing a role in its economic future.”
Comcast will offer the following Xfinity services to residential customers across Manhattan:
- Xfinity Internet, with speeds faster than a gigabit available, which includes access to a network of 23 million Xfinity WiFi hotspots in locations across the country;
- Xfinity Mobile, Comcast’s mobile phone service, which combines nationwide 5G cellular service with access to millions of Xfinity WiFi hotspots;
- Xfinity Flex, a simplified streaming solution for Xfinity Internet customers who choose not to subscribe to traditional cable TV service;
- Xfinity X1 entertainment platform and voice remote; and
- Xfinity Home, a total home security and automation solution.
Businesses in Manhattan also will have access to Comcast Business’ full suite of services, including Internet speeds up to 100 Gigabits per second, Ethernet, Advanced Voice, Comcast Business Mobile, and a variety of cloud services and other advanced services.
Comcast also is bringing its Internet Essentials program to Manhattan. Internet Essentials is a low-cost Internet service available to eligible low-income households with students of all ages, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and public housing residents enrolled in government assistance programs, ranging from Medicaid and SSI to SNAP. Comcast also participates in the federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides eligible low-income families up to $30/month toward the cost of their Internet and/or mobile bills. ACP can cover the full cost of Comcast’s Internet Essentials and Internet Essentials Plus service tiers, making them free.
