Comcast's ‘Gigabit Pro’ Charges Into Chattanooga

Comcast confirmed that it will launch Gigabit Pro, its new fiber-based 2 Gbps residential broadband service, in Chattanooga (TN) where the company grapples with EPB Fiber Optics, which sells a 1-Gig service. Comcast intends to make Gigabit Pro available in Chattanooga starting in June. Comcast will offer the uncapped Gigabit Pro service to residential customers who are within “close proximity” (about one-third of a mile) of Comcast’s fiber network, which consists of more than 145,000 route miles. Using this approach, Comcast expects to make Gigabit Pro available to about 18 million homes by the end of 2015.
