Any business person will tell you (any successful business person that is!) that he or she got where they are today by taking advantage of perceived trends in his or her market place. Success is all about looking at trends and guessing where they are about to hit – then getting there before anyone else. Like Comcast internet services, which have come pretty much out of nowhere to take a whole market share for themselves.
The web is bringing everyone together. It dictates how people conduct their businesses. It influences the ways that we relate to each other and consume our entertainment. Ignoring for the moment the question of the digital divide, a kind of electronic poverty line below which there is no internet: the vast majority of spending families in the connected world look to the web to provide everything, from news to work to pleasure.
So – Comcast internet. If we’re all relying on the internet for everything then it follows that the faster our connections, and the more data they can handle, the more stuff we will be able to do. But that costs – or did, until Comcast figured out a way to provide an access to the web that is as affordable as it is quick.
Comcast started life as a cable TV supplier – and has realised, as, belatedly, are a lot of TV companies, that the end of shelf life for all traditional TV provision may be fast approaching. With broadband speeds and reliability increasing annually, people are switching from traditional TV to web based streaming in their droves.
Comcast internet was born to take advantage of the modern reliance – and presumably what will be a future even greater reliance – on broadband for all forms of home entertainment and business. Rather than bemoan the slow loss of their target audience, Comcast has taken the digital bull by the horns and become a player there instead.
Now customers get to channel all of their communication, business and entertainment needs through the Comcast system – a connectivity network that is reputed to deliver the fastest and most affordable broadband in its class. Indeed, Comcast internet is deliverable at speeds of as much as 8 MBps – compared to the average of 2 MBps for a standard DSL connection.
That’s all made possible thanks to the mixture of fibre optic cable and regular cable Comcast uses to deliver its service. Putting a premium on fibre optic delivery has ensured that users get stunningly fast surfing and download experiences – and can lock in digital HDTV and digital voice packages too. A premium Comcast internet package will supply masses of HDTV stations, supremely quick and secure net access and a snazzy voice system that works like a lightened up version of a business class VoIP.
Broadband net access is always turned on, so there’s never a delay after you boot up your computer or TV. You can place and receive phone calls while you are using the internet – and of course if you are getting your voice stuff as part of a package then you probably aren’t paying for the calls either. Comcast internet ensures that you get what you need – fast service, reliable connection and great value. And all from a cable TV company.
