- Comcast is quietly rolling out 2 gigabit symmetrical fiber optic service in some markets. To my surprise I'm in a region that offers it and I placed an order for installation. There are a number of hurdles involved in actually getting service to my house but if all goes well next week the installation will move forward. Stay tuned!

Looking for houses in the greater Sf area one of my key criteria is high speed internet, but no matter what address I check they never give an option for anything above the 1000/35mbits cable and I really want the 2000/2000 fibre. There's little information where it is available.
This service is no secret. Where have you been for the past two years...
This is secret enough that Comcast Employees don't know about it. I gave up trying to order this last year after speaking to more than a dozen people at Comcast who have no idea what this is. Everybody at Comcast seems to think "Gigabit" and "Gigabit Pro" is the same thing. Every Comcast employee that comments on a blog or support site where people ask for Gigabit Pro points people to their Gigabit site. It's not the same thing. I already have Gigabit, I want Pro.
@@deonbrewis8876 only comcast buisness customer service is trained on gig pro. gig pro is a buisness only item. regular comcast customer service aren't trained on it
@@nathanbraun2067 It wasn't supposed to be. Comcast did door-to-door marketing in my area (which is just houses on a normal residential street) for Gig Pro. They gave me a pamphlet and the guy spent time to tell me about it, then when to the next house on the street. If it's business now, it certainly wasn't in the beginning.
@@deonbrewis8876 I don't know many normal people who want to pay 300 bucks a month for internet
@nathanbrai would un2067
I already have 1.5 in Canada.
Bell only does new home old homes don’t get it bell is selfish
@@yahuahissalvationelshaddai8630 My appartment is from 1963 and I can subscribe to 1.5gbps from Bell Canada. If you want a good upload speed because cloud or vlog, its the way to go. Upload speed over coax is crap and its 10 years behind the competition.
Unless they provide you the correct modem you will never see that speed. Signed up for the Gigabit Internet and they sent me the XB6 Modem and never got over 500 Meg Down so only getting half of what they say you will get and that is with direct cable connection and Internet Pipe only.
You'll need some 10-gig ubiquiti switches to fully utilize the 2gig. ubiquiti router but I have to figure out if that will do 2 gig wan
ubiquiti stuff is gone down hill ... some chinese switches today will work just fine
Will I get 1gb upload as well with the 1gb download speed plan on xfinity?
Nope only 40Mbps Upload speed.
@@SidneyjohnsonHelps he’s right, the download is good but the upload speeds are stuck around 40 mbps
So if you choose to downgrade to 200 Mbps after 2 months you got it installed would you be able to do that?
It's not a secret... We have it, but it's mostly for hotels or big businesses
That’s what Comcast business is for lmao
Can get businesses wifi I. Home @@Virt7_
They don’t offer this in my area but say they if they did? I currently have a nighthawk cm1200 modem with orbi WiFi 6 rbk852 router and a few cat8 cables to the few hard wired systems in my house. Would I need anything else to take advantage of the 2 gig speeds if they offered it I’m my area. Because I’ve learned you can pay for certain speed internet but if the equipment can’t handle it your not gona get what your paying for.
You'd probably need a different router - those Orbi's only have gigabit ethernet so you'll be limited to 1 gig going in.
Don't cite an article if you're not going to add in comments
299.95 for 2 gig service what a rip off!!! we only pay 130.00 for 5 gig fiber. they can keep it!!!
Seems most videos are talking head or showing stuff that looks fine in 360 rez... Not like a gaming channel. The podcast seems enough even. But that's only my 2c
if comvast dont do it, ATT and others will take their business in another 2 years. ATT gigabit fiber is in our neighborhood laying fibers and everyone in that area has comcast connections.
Go Comcast
300 for 200 it’s like 60 or less for 1000 with some companies 2000 will never be needed
It's not about the 2000 for most people. It's about the symmetric.
Never say never, people used to think 25mb was blazing fast internet and it was reserved for enterprises. Also as Deon pointed out it is for the symmetric speeds and reliability that stems from Fiber. Specifically the fact that it is your own dedicated connection. You are not sharing the bandwidth with anyone
It’s not very secret 🤷♀️
I have very good fiber where I live at 1 gigabit. I am moving and not looking to switching to comcast. I don’t want them trying to sell things to me I don’t need. I only need fiber. Nothing else.
Good luck living anywhere east of the mississippi without comcast or at&t being the only 2 available options.
Jerry That’s not true. Verizon service is way better than Comcast and AT&T. I got 1 Gig. Hell even Google Fiber is in Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina. So us folks east of the Mississippi is good. No worries.
Comcast 1 gig speed is great. What’s not great is the equipment they provide/rent to you. You need to buy your own modem router to actually achieve the speeds.
@@ridin_low193 I knew it. All these internet service providers provide us modem router that scams us of our actual speed.
@@vhsparkinc.5931 yea and at least with Comcast you can buy your own modem and router and take the rental fees away and endless something changes you can’t do that with att. I bought the nighthawk cm1200 modem with orbi WiFi 6 rbk852 router and OOO boy did it do a much better job of distribution my internet around the house without the loss the speeds not to mention the rang is ridiculous. Also I might add Comcast also offer gigabyte pro speeds @ 2.5 gigs 🤤 which att does not. This is not in all area’s but still you get the point.
Its actually not fiber at all. It’s just straight coax but different material
