Free Feature Delivers Gig Speeds to Local Xfinity Mobile Users

Thousands of Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile customers in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park can now connect their devices to millions of new “Xfinity Mobile” hotspots and receive Internet speeds over WiFi up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) at no additional cost. WiFi Boost, Comcast's new free feature, is now delivering a faster connection over Xfinity’s WiFi network to ensure existing and new customers can stream, game, chat, download, and surf wherever they are.

Today, 90 percent of the mobile data traffic on Xfinity Mobile devices travels over WiFi, not cellular. Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile are tapping into the nation’s largest and most powerful WiFi network to deliver even more speed to existing and new customers in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park. The extensive availability of WiFi is a major reason why Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile will enjoy a better experience supporting data-intensive applications where traditional cellular networks can’t keep up.

WiFi Boost is made possible by Comcast’s fiber-based network, which has been built to deliver an exceptional Internet experience ubiquitously to more than 60 million homes and businesses and across more than 23 million WiFi hotspots in Comcast’s footprint, including nearly 94,000 public Xfinity WiFi Hotspots in Washington.

It is a culmination of years of research, technological breakthroughs, and massive investments in development and infrastructure, including more than $20 billion since 2018 alone. Comcast has invested $1.1 billion over the past three years to upgrade and expand the Xfinity network in Washington and introduce new innovative features like WiFi Boost to support the constantly increasing number of connected devices consumers use inside and outside the home.

Fast speed is an important feature of a comprehensive connectivity experience that combines this powerful network with sophisticated hardware and software to deliver incredible consumer benefits, including 99.99 percent reliability, advanced cybersecurity protection, low latency, access to streaming content, and more.

Xfinity Mobile offers unlimited data plans for its Xfinity Internet customers. With free access to up to gig-speed WiFi through the Xfinity network, unlimited data plans are designed to save money.
