Comcast To Offer Major Internet Boost
PHILADELPHIA (AP) ―
Comcast says that by early 2010 it plans to offer consumers in most of
its markets Internet service so fast they will be able to download a
high-definition movie in minutes.
A Comcast official says the nation's
second-largest Internet service provider—and biggest cable TV operator—will
deploy a technology capable of delivering up to 100 megabits of data or more per
second in 20 percent of its markets by the end of 2008.
At a media conference in London, senior vice president Marlene Dooner
said the speed was "very competitive" with Verizon's fiber-optic Internet
service, which had about 1.8 million subscribers in the first quarter.
Dooner also said Comcast expects to move the
majority of its analog television channels to digital in most markets by early 2010.
