Comcast today announced it is offering DOCSIS 3.0 in Oregon and Southwest Washington. In December, Comcast’s new cable modem services will be available to residential homes and businesses throughout the communities that Comcast serves.
Comcast will offer a range of services including the Extreme 50 tier with download speeds of up to 50 Mbps. Comcast says Extreme 50 can download a 6 GB movie in about 16 minutes. DOCSIS 3.0 uses channel bonding, which enables multiple downstream and upstream channels to be used together by a single subscriber.
“We’ll have the capability to deliver even faster speeds in excess of 160 Mbps,” said Curt Henninger, Senior Vice President of Comcast Oregon and SW Washington. “Today’s announcement reaffirms Comcast’s commitment to offering nearly every customer in the Northwest the ability to enjoy some of the fastest Internet speeds available today.”
