Comcast push service: monthly fee of $7, unlimited traffic, 4-hour Internet access support for power outages at home

CTOnews.com, August 16 (Xinhua)-- US broadband service provider Comcast recently issued a press release to launch a new service for its Xfinity customers to ensure Internet connectivity in the event of a power outage at home.

Comcast said that in the existing traditional wired home Internet environment, the ability to resist the risk of power outage is very low, in the event of a power outage caused by storms, road construction and other conditions, consumers may be cut off and unable to access the Internet.

For this reason, Comcast launched Storm-Ready WiFi for Xfinity customers. The wireless router supports Wi-Fi 6 and can act as an expansion router for the home, automatically switching to the built-in battery after a power outage and running for four hours.

Comcast currently promotes Storm-Ready WiFi as a lease, requiring users to sign a 36-month contract for a monthly fee of $7 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 51 yuan) to provide unlimited cellular network traffic.
