For customers with 60 megabits per second internet plans, the new speed is 150 Mbps; for 150 Mbps plans, it is 250 Mbps; and for 250 Mbps internet service, the new speed is 400 Mbps or 1 Gbps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To get accesses to internet service with applicable speeds, Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> subscribers should unplug their respective modems for around 1 minute or reset it using Xfinity<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> app or X1 voice remote. Further, the subscribers not having the equipment will have to upgrade their present modems to get accesses to new bandwidth from Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. The customers of the cable giant who lease modems are eligible for a free speed boost. Even if you do not bundle the cheapest cable plans with internet, you can get accesses to improved speeds by paying for that.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2162\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/centurylink-updates-telephone-service-in-north-dakota\/best-phone-service\/#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2162\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2162\" class=\"wp-image-2162 size-medium\" title=\"Best Phone Service\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Best-Phone-Service-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Cheap Cable\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Best-Phone-Service-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Best-Phone-Service.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2162\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>High Speed Internet<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Note that Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> has set a data cap of 1 TB per month, which is applicable for all customers, irrespective of their present internet plans.
