Comcast boosts its Xfinity internet speeds at no extra cost for many users each year, and the company is now rolling out the 2025 upgrades. Many subscribers will have double the upload speeds they previously had, and others will see a 50 percent jump. While it's nice to see Comcast upgrading the upload speeds, fiber internet typically allows for matching downloads and uploads. Google Fiber and Verizon Fios, for instance, offer symmetrical (or near-symmetrical) speeds. Comcast's download speeds are also going up on most tiers. The top Gigabit x2 plan got a 100Mbps download speed boost to 2.1Gbps, but the download speed remains the same at 300Mbps. The company says more than 20 million customers are getting a free upgrade as part of this rollout. It's aiming to offer 2Gbps service to more than 50 million homes and businesses by the end of this year. Alongside the speed upgrades, new and existing Xfinity internet customers can snag a freebie. Those who subscribe to a plan with 400 Mbps or faster speeds can get a line of unlimited Xfinity Mobile at no extra cost for one year. Here's a breakdown of the speed boosts: Xfinity tier Previous download/upload speed (Mbps) New download/upload speed (Mbps) NOW 100/10 100/20 NOW 200/10 200/20 Connect 150/100 150/150 Connect More 300/100 400/150 Fast 500/100 600/150 Superfast 800/100 800/150 Gigabit 1,000/150 1,100/300 Gigabit x2 2,000/300 2,100/300 This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/comcast-rolls-out-its-free-annual-xfinity-internet-speed-boosts-160007781.html?src=rss

Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida is stepping down on April 1, the company just announced. He will be replaced by acting Chief Planning Officer (CPO) Ivan Espinosa. Uchida has been CEO since 2019 and Espinosas promotion will make him the companys fourth CEO in eight years. Other senior management personnel are also stepping down on April 1, including Chief Brand and Customer Officer Asako Hoshino and Chief Strategy and Corporate Affairs Officer Hideaki Watanabe. This leadership shakeup is happening less than one month after merger talks between Nissan and Honda failed. That deal would have been worth at least $50 billion and would have created the worlds third-largest automobile company by sales volume. Reporting has indicated that the talks fell apart after Honda demanded that Nissan become its subsidiary. Sources at Reuters also noted that Nissan refused to close factories and initiate deep staff cuts. Nissans problems go far beyond failed merger talks. Theres a reason, after all, why Honda wanted to be top dog and not the other way around. Nissan saw a 78 percent year-on-year reduction in operating profits for the third quarter ending in December. It also reported a net loss of over $95 million for the same time period. It cut forecasts for both revenue and operating profit and its stock valuation has been all over the place. Outgoing CEO Uchida told reporters that he was unable to gain the confidence of many Nissan employees since announcing a turnaround plan last year and that the best course of action was to pass on the baton to my successor quickly. CPO Espinosa has been with the company since 2003. I grew up in Nissan and Ive spent many years working in divisions across the globe, Espinosa said. I sincerely believe Nissan has so much more potential than what we are seeing today.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/nissan-announces-its-ceo-will-step-down-just-one-month-after-failed-merger-talks-with-honda-154420111.html?src=rss
