PHILADELPHIA—Comcast has launched WiFi Boost capabilities that allows Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile devices to get speeds of up to 1 Gbps when they connect to millions of new “Xfinity Mobile” hotspots.
In launching the feature, Comcast reported that around 90% of the mobile data traffic on Xfinity Mobile devices travels over WiFi, not cellular. With more than 23 million WiFi hotspots now able to give customers a speed boost with WiFi Boost, the company said that Xfinity Mobile continues to deliver a better experience to support data-intensive applications than traditional cellular networks.
