Comcast launched high-speed wireless data in Portland as
the company kicks off its nationwide rollout of Comcast High-Speed 2go.
Comcast's
High-Speed 2go is a 4G wireless high-speed data
service that they claim provides the fastest available wireless Internet in the
nation via wireless data cards. Comcast will be selling this wireless
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.
