Comcast Super Fast Internet Rollout Begins in Atlanta

ATLANTA, GA -- Comcast is beginning an advanced consumer trial of Gigabit Internet service to several Atlanta neighborhoods.

New or current customers in Atlanta can visit Xfinity.com/gig to learn about the new service and request additional information on this trial as the service becomes more broadly available.

If selected for the trial, they will be among the first to experience DOCSIS 3.1 technology and receive up to 1 Gigabit Internet speeds over the existing communications lines to their homes.

As part of the trial, these initial users will also be encouraged to give Comcast feedback about their service, which will be used to help ensure future market rollouts deliver the best possible customer experience.

Initial customers in Atlanta will have the choice of a promotional contract price of $70 per month for 36 months, or an every day price with no contract at $139.95. Once this advanced consumer trial is complete, Comcast plans to roll Gigabit service out at additional price points in other markets to gauge consumer interest in Gigabit speeds.

In February 2016, Comcast unveiled plans to offer Gigabit Internet service using DOCSIS 3.1 technology in Atlanta and Nashville in early 2016, with Chicago, Detroit, and Miami to follow in the second half of the year.
