Thousands of Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile customers in the Midwest Region, which includes parts of Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri and Wisconsin, can now connect their device to millions of new “Xfinity Mobile” hotspots and receive Internet speeds over WiFi up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) at no additional cost. WiFi Boost, the new free feature from Comcast is now delivering a faster connection over Xfinity’s WiFi network to ensure that existing and new customers can stream, game, chat, download and surf wherever they are.
Today 90 percent of the mobile data traffic on Xfinity Mobile devices travels over WiFi, not cellular. Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile are tapping into the nation’s largest and most powerful WiFi network to deliver existing and new customers in the Midwest Region even more speed. The extensive availability of WiFi is a major reason why Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile will enjoy a better experience to support data-intensive applications where traditional cellular networks can’t keep up.
WiFi Boost is made possible by Comcast’s fiber-based network which has been built to deliver an exceptional Internet experience, ubiquitously, to the more than 60 million homes and businesses and across more than 23 million WiFi hotspots in Comcast’s footprint, including nearly 53,000 public Xfinity WiFi Hotspots in the Midwest Region.
It is a culmination of years of research, technological breakthroughs, and massive investments, including more than $20 billion since 2018 alone, in development and infrastructure. Comcast has invested more than $545 million over the past three years to upgrade and expand the Xfinity network in the Midwest Region and introduce new innovative features like WiFi Boost to support the constantly increasing number of connected devices consumers use both inside and outside of the home.
Fast speed is an important feature of a comprehensive connectivity experience that also combines this powerful network with sophisticated hardware and software to deliver incredible benefits to consumers, including 99.99 percent reliability, advanced cybersecurity protection, low latency, access to streaming content, and more.
