01 July 2009

 

Comcast Corporation, a provider of entertainment, information and communications products and services, today will launch its high-speed wireless data service in Portland, Oregon, as the company kicks off a nationwide rollout of Comcast High-Speed 2goTM.

Comcast’s High-Speed 2go is a 4G wireless high-speed data service that provides the fastest available wireless Internet via wireless data cards. Comcast will sell the service bundled with one or more of its popular Internet, phone and television products, providing mobile broadband where ever and whenever customers need to be connected.

Comcast is selling two different data cards and service plans:

  • Comcast High-Speed 2go Metro service uses a 4G-only data card giving customers the fastest wireless service within the 4G metro coverage area. The Metro device operates only in a 4G service footprint.
  • Comcast High-Speed 2go Nationwide service delivers the fastest metro 4G service plus coast-to-coast access on Sprint’s national 3G network. The Nationwide device automatically switches between available 4G and 3G networks.

Consumers will be able to bundle Comcast’s wired and wireless services in a product called “Fast Pack.”
