Comcast to Revolutionize US Internet with Symmetrical 3 & 5 Gbps Speeds in 2024
Comcast is set to revolutionize internet speeds in the US. The cable giant plans to offer symmetrical 3 and 5 Gbps speeds next year, thanks to its DOCSIS 4.0 FDX upgrade. This technology promises real-time network event correction using AI-driven management.
Currently, Comcast offers symmetrical bandwidths in all 39 states it operates in, using Full Duplex (FDX) DOCSIS amplifiers. This is a significant leap from DOCSIS 3.1, which provides gigabit speeds for downloads but limited upload speeds in Germany, up to 50 Mbps by Vodafone and up to 30 Mbps by Tele Columbus.
Comcast began rolling out DOCSIS 4.0 in 2022, aiming to equip 50 million households by 2025. By March 2025, it had already covered 25 million households and planned to reach 45 million by the end of the year. This upgrade enables symmetrical gigabit bandwidths, with potential speeds of up to 10 Gbps for both downloads and uploads.
Meanwhile, in Germany, a company based in Berlin is starting to offer symmetrical bandwidths up to 5 Gbit/s. However, the specific company name is not available at this time.
The DOCSIS 4.0 FDX upgrade is set to transform internet speeds in the US and Germany. Comcast's rollout will provide symmetrical multi-gigabit speeds to millions of households, while a Berlin-based company leads the way in Germany. This shift promises faster, more reliable internet for both personal and business use.
