Most of the cable modems of Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> in Houston use DOCSIS 3.0 standard and provide internet at 300 Mbps maximum. If you are using an older model cable modem in Comcast Xfinity<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, you will have to upgrade the modem to one that supports DOCSIS 3.1 standard to get internet service with faster speeds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Xfinity<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> customers and Comcast Business<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> subscribers in Houston can now get high-speed internet data over communications line that already exists in the respective premises. The gigabit internet service from the cable giant offers customers 35 megabits per second upstream speed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In contrast to that, Comcast\u2019s residential internet services usually have upstream speed in the range of 5 and 10 megabits per second. If you subscribe to Comcast\u2019s gigabit internet service with DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem at a monthly rent of $10, you can get better internet plans in Houston.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The gigabit internet service enables the users to download a 5 GB HD movie within forty seconds or play a 15 GB video within 120 seconds. The best internet service has a 1 TB data cap just like some of the other speed tiers of Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1978\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1978\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1978\" class=\"wp-image-1978 size-medium\" title=\"DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem \" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Cox-TV-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Best Internet Service\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Cox-TV-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Cox-TV.jpg 615w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1978\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>High-Speed Internet Service <\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The gigabit internet service from Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is set to compete with AT&amp;T<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Internet 1000 and is going to be available in \u201c600,000 homes, apartments and small businesses,\u201d in Houston, the company announced in a recent statement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apart from Xfinity<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> subscribers, Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> also offers a variant of the internet service to the business customers.
