And Xfinity customers in Portland received speeds 29% faster than CenturyLink. With more than 81,000 tests performed during the quarter in Oregon, Ookla’s report also provides a real-time view into the Internet speeds that consumers are actually experiencing based on the service tiers they select.
“Consumers are using more connected devices in their homes than ever before,” said David Tashjian, Regional Senior Vice-President of Comcast Oregon/SW Washington. “We’ve invested billions into our network to deliver our fastest speeds throughout our region and across the country. We are committed to delivering the best possible connectivity experience and will continue to exceed our customers’ growing demand for fast, reliable, and secure Internet connections.”
“I am so proud to work with an incredible local network team who work tirelessly to make sure that communities in Oregon have access to fast and reliable connections,” said Jacob Mitchell, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Xfinity. “We have built a network that delivers our full range of speeds to everyone everywhere Comcast delivers service, providing more choices for our customers based on what they need to power their home.”
Xfinity Internet provides an unbeatable connectivity experience with the fastest download speeds, advanced cybersecurity protection, and total control over all the devices connected over WiFi in the home.

Faster speeds will be just one of the consumer benefits made possible through Comcast’s continued efforts to evolve its entire network to 10G. 10G is a next-generation technology platform supported by a global collaboration of companies in the Internet industry focused on building networks that stay ahead of consumer demand for connectivity. In addition to enabling multi-gig symmetrical connections, 10G efforts will provide even greater network reliability, lower latency, faster troubleshooting, and increased energy efficiency.
