Beginning Monday, Comcast is increasing speeds of its most popular Internet speed packages for new and existing customers in Houston.

Customers with speed packages Performance Pro will see their download speeds increase from 75 megabits per second to 100 megabits per second, according to a company statement.

Blast Pro customers will experience download speeds of 200 megabits per second, up from 150 megabits per second. The speed increases will not require additional costs for customers.

The higher speeds will take effect after customers restart their modems, as prompted by Comcast once the new service is available.

"We realize technical innovations are occurring rapidly, and our customers need the speed to make the most of them," Comcast Regional Senior Vice President Ralph Martinez said in a statement.

Monday's speed boost is the 17th time the Internet and phone service provider has increased download speeds during the past 15 years, according to Comcast.
