If you have Comcast Xfinity in the Rockford area, your internet speeds may feel faster than usual thanks to Comcast.
I’ve been an Xfinity customer for about five years and just recently got my internet bill basically cut in half. If one of the Comcast reps hadn’t told me about the discount, I probably would have paid more than I actually needed to. So, shoutout to Adrian from Xfinity in Rockford for hooking me up!
Now, we’re seeing on Facebook that Comcast announced on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, it will provide faster internet speeds to thousands of customers at no additional cost.

“Over the past 20 years, we have regularly increased speeds to give our customers the connectivity they need to power their increasingly connected lives. We’ve been really focused this year to increase the velocity so that these customers can take advantage of these new features, as the offering may not be updated.”
Make the most of the new changes that went into effect on Wednesday. You can now scroll through TikTok faster. That’s my favorite perk lol.
