Xfinity Internet Customers in Greater Kansas City Get Speed Upgrade and More at No Additional Cost

We recently made Xfinity Internet faster for our customers across Greater Kansas City, and it won’t cost you anything extra. As more people need better Internet at home, these upgrades will give you faster download and upload speeds. This means you can stream, game, chat, surf, and more on all your devices at the same time.

Xfinity Internet plans, including the NOW prepaid products, will have 50 to 100 percent faster upload speeds than before. This helps you upload big files quickly when working from home or posting videos on social media. Download speeds will also increase for most plans. These upgrades are possible because of our fiber network, with over 3,000 network miles deployed across the region.

In addition to faster speeds, new and existing Xfinity Internet customers now can add a line of Unlimited on Xfinity Mobile included for a year with a subscription of 400 Mbps or faster. And with WiFi PowerBoost, Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile customers seamlessly receive WiFi speeds up to 1 Gbps no matter what Internet speed tier they subscribe to, in and out of the home, on the nation’s largest and fastest WiFi network.  

Since 94 percent of devices connect to the Internet via WiFi, fast speeds are only as good as the WiFi that connects them. At home, our Xfinity WiFi Gateways and extenders create a fast, reliable, and secure connection in every corner of your home. Outside of the home, Xfinity Internet customers can use the nation’s largest network of WiFi hotspots to stay connected on the go. This includes millions of WiFi hotspots across the country, including thousands throughout Greater Kansas City.

Fast download and upload speeds are an important feature of a comprehensive connectivity experience that delivers incredible benefits to Greater Kansas City residents, including:

• Reliability: Xfinity has greater than 99 percent reliability, and the Xfinity network utilizes artificial intelligence to keep customers connected by fixing issues before customers know they happened.

• Ultra-Low-Lag: Comcast recently introduced the first customers in the world to a pioneering new feature of Xfinity Internet that dramatically reduces latency when using interactive applications like gaming, videoconferencing, and virtual reality. Customers will have less delay, and a smoother, more responsive end-to-end online experience.

• Great WiFi in and out of the home: Next-generation Xfinity gateways deliver advanced WiFi capacity to power hundreds of devices in homes and more than a billion devices each year across Comcast’s network. WiFi PowerBoost delivers Xfinity Mobile customers speeds up to 1 Gbps over WiFi at home or at millions of WiFi hotspots across the country.

• Digital Security: xFi Advanced Security, included for free for customers who lease an Xfinity gateway, protects connected devices from malware and other threats at the gateway before they reach connected household devices. Since launching xFi Advanced Security, Xfinity has stopped more than 10 billion cyber security threats.

Customers can take advantage of the unlimited mobile line offer by visiting the nearest Xfinity retail store location in Independence, Mo., or Olathe, Kan., via their account on Xfinity.com or the Xfinity app, or by calling 1-800-XFINITY. For more information, visit www.xfinity.com.
