MIAMI BEACH, Aug. 29, 2017 – Atlantic Broadband, the nation's 9^th largest cable operator, today announced the widespread availability of its Gigabit internet service in Miami Beach and surrounding areas.

The company’s GigaEdge and Pro GigaEdge service marks the arrival of the first widely deployed Gigabit internet speeds in Miami Beach and surrounding communities. These powerful internet speeds will enable an entirely new level of the user experience.

With GigaEdge’s significantly faster and more powerful internet speeds, users are able to surf, stream, download, work, and game online at the same time, with greatly enhanced speed and reliability. Atlantic Broadband’s fastest speeds will increase from 250 Mbps/20 Mbps to 1 Gigabit or 1,000 Mbps/50 Mbps, allowing customers to download a two-hour HD movie in 32 seconds and send a large file (250 MB) in just 40 seconds. With more than 28 percent of U.S. households using 10 or more devices in the home on a daily basis[1], GigaEdge delivers faster speed for multiple users to be connected simultaneously, without any interruptions.

In addition to Gigabit internet, this investment, which began in 2016, has also delivered significant HD channel additions, new Spanish-language and international channels, enhanced digital picture quality and sound, and greater reliability across our network.”
