Comcast has launched "NOW" Internet and Mobile services in the United States, offering simple and low-cost connectivity options to consumers. These services utilize Comcast's Xfinity network, which boasts a reliable 5G coverage.
NOW Internet and NOW Mobile are available nationwide wherever Comcast provides service, with customers able to sign up, pause, or cancel subscriptions online, through the Xfinity app, or at an Xfinity Store.
Comcast Launches NOW Internet and Now Mobile
Bill Connors, President of Connectivity and Platforms at Comcast, emphasized that NOW provides a straightforward, dependable, cost-effective solution for consumers seeking tailored Internet and Mobile services.
According to Connors, trials revealed a demand for a superior prepaid product, leading to the development of these new options.
NOW Internet promises a more dependable and affordable connection compared to 5G home Internet from cellular providers. It utilizes the nation's largest landline network with over 99 percent reliability. The service incorporates AI technology to detect and resolve disruptions.
Meanwhile, NOW Mobile leverages WiFi connectivity, which accounts for a significant portion of smartphone data traffic.
According to Comcast, unlike traditional prepaid providers, NOW Mobile capitalizes on over 23 million WiFi hotspots across the U.S.
The company also claims that NOW provides flexibility by allowing customers to subscribe, pause, or resume their Internet, mobile, and TV services online or via the Xfinity app.
NOW Internet and NOW Mobile are part of existing options such as NOW TV and NOW WiFi Pass, which are found within Comcast's connectivity and entertainment options portfolio.
