Comcast is about to roll out gigabit-plus internet speeds for both upload and download without needing fiber upgrades that run all the way to the house. The company will offer a new “X-Class” service upgrade that supports up to 2 Gbps downloads and uploads starting in Colorado Springs, Colorado, next week. The city was one of the first places that Comcast launched its 2 Gbps internet service last year, although at that time, it still only supported 200Mbps uploads.
According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, the 300Mbps tier will cost $55 per month, including equipment rentals, and up to $115 per month on the 2 Gbps option. Fiber broadband speed offerings have jumped quickly over the years, with services like Verizon’s FiOS offering 500 Mbps internet in 2013 to almost 1 Gbps by 2017. And today, Verizon offers 2 Gbps while Google Fiber, AT&T, and Frontier are offering 5 Gbps internet.
