More Utahns are gaining access to
the express lane of the information superhighway as the beehive state will be
the first in the country involved in a statewide roll out of the super high
speed of the internet service from one of the largest service providers in the
nation. Comcast announced on Tuesday the launch of the new internet service
that will deliver speeds up to one gigabit per second for the residential
customers throughout Northern Utah. The company said that lightning fast speeds
will be over its current network infrastructure starting immediately. Comcast
said anyone in its service area now may order the service, which the company is
offering in competition with Century Link and Google Fiber, whose comparable
services are available only in certain areas. While Comcast has been testing the
service in other areas, Utah is the first state that is getting it rolled out
as a whole throughout the company’s entire footprint, said Leslie Oliver,
director of external affairs.
Merlin Jensen, area vice president of
technical operations for Comcast also said that with the new 1gig service, the
customers in Utah can take the benefit of superfast internet speeds using the
current wiring in their home. The company has also been on the pace of doubling
their network capacity every 18 to 24 months, which ensures that the company
stay well ahead of customer demand and it will continue for making the
investments in Utah.
Jensen also said that the average
speeds foe the average residential customer is about 100 Mbps to 150 Mbps that
would download a two-hour movie today in about one and half minutes. Today with
that gig service, the company will be able to do that in about 8 seconds.
Because the new internet service of
the company will use existing communications lines, it has the potential for
broad deployment in communities across eight northern Utah counties, said
Jensen in a statement including that current or new customers can access
gigabit speeds with the installation of a compatible cable connection.
The individual prices for the
standalone gigabit service in Utah will be $160 per month with no contract, he
added. However, two promotional prices will also be tested in different areas
with a one year service agreement. The company will test a $70 per month offer
in certain areas in Salt Lake City, Provo, and North Ogden along with $110 per
month offered all across the rest of the state, he said, additional prices and
promotions may be tested I the future, he added.
