Comcast to Launch Extreme 50 Mbps High-Speed Internet Service in Central
California and Santa Barbara County
Comcast Introduces Two New, Faster Speed Tier Options and Doubles Speeds For
Most Existing Customers

LIVERMORE, Calif., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast, (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) the
nation's leading provider of entertainment, information and communications
products and services, today announced it is launching next-generation DOCSIS
3.0 and making the leap from broadband to wideband in several areas of
California, including Fresno, Merced, Modesto, Stockton, Tracy, Tulare,
Visalia, as well as Santa Barbara County (see complete list of 83 cities and
communities below). With the launch, Comcast has now begun its rollout of the
reliable wideband service in Central California and North Santa Barbara. The
company previously deployed wideband in the San Francisco Bay Area and in the
Monterey-Salinas area earlier this year.

With wideband, Comcast has introduced a new echelon of Internet speed tiers,
which will redefine the customer experience online and create a platform for
Internet innovation in the years ahead. Comcast now offers some of the
fastest speeds available today in Central California, including the Extreme 50
tier with download speeds of up to 50 Mbps. Wideband also enables Comcast to
double speeds for the majority of existing high-speed Internet customers.

"Wideband utilizes our existing fiber-optic network in neighborhoods across
our footprint. With this next generation of service, our customers' online
experience is dramatically enhanced," said Steve White, Senior Vice President
of Comcast's California Region. "And this is just the beginning. Wideband,
combined with our fiber-optic network, gives us the capability of meeting the
needs of our customers for many years to come by offering even faster speeds
in the future."

Beginning October 29th, Comcast's new services will be available to
residential homes (and beginning November 5th to all businesses) in the
following cities and areas: Acampo, Altaville, Angels Camp, Armona, Arnold,
Atwater, Avery, Ballard, Big Trees, Buellton, Camp Connell, Chowchilla,
Clovis, Corcoran, Crows Landing, Del Rey, Dinuba, Dorrington, Dos Palos,
Douglas Flat, Firebaugh, Fowler, French Camp, Fresno, Friant, Goshen,
Grangeville, Grayson, Gustine, Hanford, Hardwick, Hathaway Pines, Jackson,
Kerman, Kingsburg, Lathrop, Laton, Lemoore, Lemoore NAS, Linden, Lockeford,
Lodi, Lompoc, Los Banos, Los Olivos, Madera, Manteca, Mendota, Merced,
Modesto, Mokelumne Hill, Mountain House, Murphys, Newman, Oakdale, Orcutt,
Parlier, Patterson, Pinedale, Planada, Plymouth, Rancho Calaveras, Reedley,
Riverdale, San Andreas, San Joaquin, Santa Maria, Santa Ynez, Sanger, Selma,
Solvang, Stockton, Stratford, Sutter Creek, Tracy, Tulare, Vallecito, Valley
Springs, Victor, Visalia, Wallace, Winton, and Woodbridge. From Kings and
Tulare counties to the Amador foothills, customers will soon be conducting
business, surfing the web and playing online games even faster.

As part of the wideband deployment, Comcast is launching two new premium speed
tiers to its residential and business class customers. Both new services are
ideal for households or businesses simultaneously using several computers or
Internet-connected devices. They also will appeal to those who simply want
some of the fastest speeds available today:

New Residential Tiers
-- Extreme 50, offering up to 50 Mbps of downstream speed and up to 10
Mbps
of upstream speed at $99.95/month.*

-- Ultra, offering up to 22 Mbps of downstream speed and up to 5 Mbps of
upstream speed at $62.95/month.*

With Extreme 50, Comcast customers will be able to download a high-definition
movie (6 GB) in about 16 minutes, a standard-definition movie (2 GB) in about
five minutes and a standard-definition TV show (300 MB) in a matter of
seconds. Customers with Extreme 50 also will be able to download digital
photos, songs and games faster than ever.

In addition to the new speed tiers, Comcast will also increase speeds for its
existing Performance tier customers, who will now benefit from doubled
downstream and upstream speeds -- offering up to 12 Mbps and 2 Mbps,
respectively. Plus, with PowerBoost® technology, customers are able to enjoy
even faster speeds to download and upload files such as videos, games, music
and photos.

New Business Class Tiers
Business customers will benefit from wideband with increased efficiency and
productivity. Customers can sign up for the Deluxe 50 Mbps / 10 Mbps tier for
$189.95/month, which includes a full suite of features and support. As part
of their service, Comcast Business Class customers receive Microsoft
Communication Services, providing corporate-class e-mail, calendaring and
document sharing, as well as additional benefits such as firewall protection,
static IP addresses, multiple e-mail addresses and business class 24/7
customer support. Existing business class customers also will receive
complimentary speed increases - speeds on the Starter tier will be doubled to
up to 12 Mbps / 2 Mbps and a new Premium Tier also will be introduced,
offering speeds up to 22 Mbps / 5 Mbps for only $99.95/month.
