Comcast has announced that it is in the midst of a major network upgrade that includes plans to offer multi-gigabit symmetrical speeds and Wi-Fi 6 to customers starting next year.

The cable provider said that it is “finalizing” its transition to a virtualized, cloud-based network architecture and at the same time implementing a network architectural update that will boost its upload and download capacity.
