Max Modem Download
Brand Model (Mbps)

So if you are currently renting one of the above-listed modems from Comcast, please contact your local Comcast office to find instructions on how to upgrade your modem to a newer model. If you currently own one of the above modems, you may want to consider renting a modem from Comcast for a $3/month cost or replace the modem with a newer model in the FAQ list of approved modems above.
Comcast is happy to announce these new speeds which will soon be made available to you. Please let us know if you have any additional questions regarding these new speeds and we will be happy to answer them.
