Comcast promising ultra-fast Internet

Cable companies aren’t known as nimble innovators, but Comcast is out to change that perception this year with ultra-high-speed Internet service, more high-definition content and gadgets that link video, phone and broadband services. “We’re about innovation and having the best network,” Chief Executive Brian Roberts told The Associated Press in a preview of his speech at the Consumer Electronics show on Tuesday.

Roberts is expected to demonstrate a technology that delivers up to 160 megabits of data per second: It will allow him to download a high-definition copy of “Batman Begins” in four minutes. The technology, DOCSIS 3.0, will start rolling out this year.
