“Xfinity Mobile combines its WiFi network resources, 5G capabilities and PowerBoost technology to enhance the connectivity experience for its customers, said Kerry Baker, industry analyst, Ookla. The integration of these technologies reflects the industry’s continued focus on creating better solutions for customers’ evolving demands .”

PowerBoost gives Xfinity Mobile customers more than enough speed for streaming, gaming, video calling or browsing and a high-quality experience. Xfinity Mobile is one of the fastest growing mobile services in the industry with more than seven million users and counting since the service launched.

“Since its inception, Xfinity Mobile has delivered an unparalleled wireless experience for the way consumers today use mobile to connect to the Internet,” said Kohposh Kuda, senior vice president, Xfinity Mobile, Comcast. The super-fast speeds provided by PowerBoost are the latest in a long line of game-changing features for our customers to enjoy, whether it’s saving hundreds of dollars1 by switching from the big three carriers, customizing their bill to fit their unique household needs, or keeping loved ones from cyber threats with our advanced cyber security features.

Nearly 90 percent of Xfinity Mobile smartphone data travels over WiFi and because Comcast provides the best WiFi experience, now with speeds up to one gig, that’s the primary reason the service is consistently faster than competitors in Comcast markets2. Xfinity Mobile customers with the latest devices automatically connect to millions of WiFi hotspots across the country and get speeds up to gigabytes powered by PowerBoost. And, as the Ookla report notes, Xfinity Mobile’s speeds will continue to get even faster as consumers upgrade to new devices that can take advantage of faster speeds.

PowerBoost is another innovation made possible by Comcast’s state-of-the-art network, designed to deliver an exceptional Internet experience to more than 63 million homes and businesses and more than 23 million WiFi hotspots. It represents years of research, technological advancement and significant investment, including over $20 billion over the past five years, in development and infrastructure.
