On the heels of it increasing Internet speeds to customers across the country, Comcast announced that it’s turbo-charging its next-generation network, with 2 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) download speeds and up to 10x faster upload speeds now available to all customers in Falmouth over the connections already existing in homes and businesses. This speed increase, which is made possible by Comcast’s ongoing investment in its network, paves the way for Comcast to deliver symmetrical multigigabit speeds in the near future.
“Falmouth is a priority for Comcast and our local investment here powers the next-generation Internet experience for our customers today and well into the future,” said Carolyne Hannan, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s New England Region. “Our network is a result of years of investment and innovation that continues to make our network even faster, more reliable, and more secure – all immediate benefits for our Falmouth customers.”
Comcast continues to make significant investments in its network to ensure it delivers all the speed, capacity, reliability and security customers need today, and well into the future. The investments made recently in Falmouth have many added benefits beyond just speed.
Beyond Just Faster Speeds

- Reliable no matter what: Comcast-developed platforms use artificial intelligence and machine learning to continuously monitor performance data, identify potential issues and automatically optimize performance – often before customers even notice a problem. Earning a 99.9% world-class reliability score, so our customers have an always-on connection.

- Lower latency: Reduced latency or “lag” enables better performance of real-time applications like video conferencing, multi-player on-line gaming, live video streaming and VR experiences.
This project is part of Comcast’s commitment to Massachusetts, where the company has invested almost $960 million in technology and fiber infrastructure, including these network innovations, over the last three years. More information on our network and continued investments can be found here.
