Mar. 18—Xfinity internet customers gained faster speeds this month at no additional cost, Comcast said in a press release.

The speed increases are made possible by Comcast's fiber-based network, which has been built to deliver internet service to more than 60 million homes and businesses across the country, Comcast said.

The company has made "massive" investments in recent years, including more than $20 billion since 2018 alone in development and infrastructure.

"Xfinity is focused on keeping customers connected so they can affordably stream, surf, and share on a network and service they can rely on today and in the future," Xfinity's press release said.

Xfinity, Comcast's residential internet and mobile provider, serves municipalities in Cambria and Somerset counties.

"Streaming live sports, gaming, and other data-rich applications are driving internet consumption to new heights," Emily Waldorf, Comcast senior vice president for consumer internet services, said in the press release. "We have regularly increased speeds over the past two decades to provide customers with the connectivity they need to power their increasingly connected lives."
