New research from Ookla, a global leader in connectivity intelligence, credits Xfinity Mobile’s PowerBoost technology with delivering customers 150 percent faster speeds since the innovative feature launched in 2024.

PowerBoost delivers speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) over WiFi at home or at millions of WiFi hotspots across the country, including over 52,000 throughout Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri, and Wisconsin. The feature is free to all Xfinity Mobile customers.

“Xfinity Mobile combines its WiFi network resources, 5G capabilities, and PowerBoost technology to enhance the connectivity experience for its customers,” said Kerry Baker, Industry Analyst, Ookla. “The integration of these technologies reflects the ongoing industry focus on creating better solutions for evolving user demands.”

PowerBoost provides Xfinity Mobile customers with more than enough speed to stream, game, video call, or browse and get the highest quality experience. Xfinity Mobile is one of the fastest growing mobile services in the industry with more than 7 million customers and counting since the service launched.

“From the very beginning Xfinity Mobile has delivered an unparalleled wireless experience for the way consumers use mobile today, to get online,” said Rachel Johnson, vice president, Xfinity Sales & Marketing, Comcast Midwest Region. “The superfast speeds delivered by PowerBoost are the latest in a long line of game changing features that our customers can enjoy, whether that is saving hundreds of dollars by switching from the Big Three mobile providers, customizing their account to fit their unique household needs, or keeping loved ones safe from cyber threats with our advanced cybersecurity features.”

The Ookla report notes that Xfinity Mobile speeds will continue to get even faster as consumers upgrade to new devices capable of taking advantage of faster speeds.
