Today 90 percent of the mobile data traffic on Xfinity
Mobile devices travels over WiFi, not cellular. With more than 23
million WiFi hotspots giving customers a speed boost, Xfinity
Mobile continues to deliver a better experience to support
data-intensive applications when traditional cellular networks
can’t keep up. Comcast has invested more than $20B over the past
five years to upgrade and expand the Xfinity network 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.
“We’re supercharging hotspots to unlock the full potential of
our customers’ mobile devices and give you the boost you need, when
you need it, to download a large file, stream a live sporting
event, or host an important video call,” said Kohposh Kuda, senior
vice president, Xfinity Mobile, Comcast. “A billion devices connect
to WiFi over our network because it delivers a superior experience.
We’ve invested billions of dollars in a network that can support
the massive growth in data consumption and our WiFi Boost upgrade
is a huge win for our mobile customers.”
As consumers increasingly want to enjoy experiences on the go,
Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile are tapping into the
nation’s largest and most powerful WiFi network to deliver their
customers even more speed. The extensive availability of WiFi is a
major reason why Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile are the
fastest mobile services1 in Comcast areas.
Powered by a World-Class Network 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. 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.
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.
Unlimited Plans Designed for Savings Xfinity Mobile
offers unlimited data plans for its Xfinity Internet customers and
now those data plans are simpler and more affordable than ever. As
customers add more lines, the more they save. Customers on
unlimited plans get free calling and texting to Canada and Mexico
from the United States. Unlimited customers also receive calling,
texting, and roaming free to the U.S. when visiting Canada and
Mexico.
With free access to up to gig-speed WiFi through the Xfinity
network, unlimited data plans designed to save money, and the most
popular devices, Comcast has emerged as one of the fastest growing
mobile providers in the country with Xfinity Mobile and Comcast
Business Mobile. The services have combined to add more than 6.5
million lines since launching in 2017 and have a long runway for
sustained growth ahead. Both are offered as a value-added benefit
to Internet customers who regularly rank Xfinity among the leading
mobile providers in customer satisfaction.
