Comcast has invested heavily to turbo-charge its Xfinity next-generation network and as a result most San Jose, Calif. customers can now get 2 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) download speeds and up to 10x faster upload speeds. These blazing fast speeds are available now over the existing connections in homes and businesses – no new equipment or added payments are needed. This speed increase is made possible by Comcast’s significant investments in its Xfinity network and paves the way for Comcast to deliver symmetrical multigigabit speeds in the near future.
“San Jose is a priority for Comcast and our sizable investment here powers the next-generation Xfinity experience for our customers today and well into the future,” said David Tashjian, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s California Region. “Our network is a result of years of innovation and massive investments that continue to make our Xfinity service faster, more reliable and more secure – offering immediate benefits to San Jose customers.”

This project is part of Comcast’s commitment to California, where the company has invested almost $4 billion in technology and infrastructure in the past three years.
Comcast’s commitment to new communities goes beyond these network enhancements, addressing digital opportunities in communities through Project UP, the company’s $1 billion dollar commitment to help tens of millions of people connect to the Internet and build futures of unlimited possibilities. Over the past three years, Comcast has invested more than $130.5 million in cash and in-kind donations into California nonprofits focused on helping people build digital skills, expanding WiFi connected Lift Zones and funding connectivity and Internet adoption programs.
