MANCHESTER, N.H. -Comcast said Wednesday it is significantly increasing the speeds of two of its most popular Internet speed tiers – Blast! and Performance Pro – for both new and existing customers in its 14-state Northeast Division, which includes its Pennsylvania customers.

According to a news release, most Blast! customers will see their download speeds increase from 150 Mbps to 200 Mbps, and Performance Pro customers will see an increase from 75 Mbps to 100 Mbps, both at no additional cost.

Most customers who currently subscribe to Xfinity bundles with these speed tiers will automatically be upgraded to the new speeds.

The company said the latest increases demonstrate its ongoing commitment to continue to increase speeds for its customers, as it has done almost every year for more than a decade, in order to stay ahead of the ever expanding number of Internet applications and connected devices in the home.

The faster speeds and tiers started rolling out Wednesday, and are now available to the vast majority of new and existing customers.

To get the increased speeds, customers simply need to re-start their modems.

Comcast said it will also notify customers who may need to upgrade their modems to receive the increased speeds.
