Comcast
installs
nearly
700 new
outdoor
Wi-Fi
Hotspots
in
Southeast
Michigan
to keep
customers
connected
on the
go
PLYMOUTH,
MI -
Comcast
announced
today it
has
installed
nearly
700 new
XFINITY
Wi-Fi
outdoor
hotspots
in Ann
Arbor,
Detroit,
Grosse
Pointe,
Royal
Oak and
St.
Clair
Shores.
With
654,000
total
XFINITY
Wi-Fi
hotpots
statewide,
Comcast
offers
more
coverage
than any
other
provider
in
Michigan,
ensuring
customers
have the
fastest
available
online
experience
in their
home, at
work and
in
popular
outdoor
areas.
Additional
XFINITY
Wi-Fi
outdoor
hotspots
will
launch
across
other
Michigan
communities
later
this
year.
This
announcement
complements
Comcast’s
thousands
of
existing
residential
and
business
hotspots
in the
area,
which
most
XFINITY
Internet
customers
can
access
at no
additional
cost.
“We’re a
mobile-centric
society
with an
insatiable
appetite
for
staying
connected
all the
time,
everywhere,”
said Tim
Collins,
Comcast
senior
vice
president
in
Michigan.
“These
outdoor
hotspots
offer
our
customers
even
more
value
from
their
XFINITY
service
by
letting
them
connect
to
family,
friends,
information
and
entertainment
like
never
before.”
Over the
past
four
years,
Comcast
has
invested
in its
network
and in
new
products
and
services,
such as
its X1
platform
and
XFINITY
Home, to
enhance
the
customer
experience.
The
company
has
increased
Internet
speeds
in
Michigan
virtually
every
year for
more
than a
decade,
and in
2015,
Comcast
launched
Gigabit
Pro, a
professional-grade
residential
Internet
tier
that
delivers
2-Gbps
upload
and
download
speeds.
Earlier
this
year,
Comcast
announced
it will
introduce
the
world’s
first
DOCSIS
3.1-powered
gigabit
Internet
service
to
residential
and
business
customers
in
Detroit.
The new
network
technology
will,
for the
first
time,
make it
possible
for
Xfinity
and
Comcast
Business
Internet
customers
to
receive
gigabit
speeds
over the
communications
lines
that
most
customers
already
have in
their
homes
and
offices.
