Comcast is rolling out ‘ultra-low lag’ tech that could fix the internet

If you are using Comcast Xfinity Internet, FaceTime calls may be about to improve. Instead of increasing the amount of data that it can send or receive in the internet connection simultaneously (usually called the frequency or productivity range), a new upgrade comes to reduce the amount of time that each package of information takes to do the trip.
Komca officially started to launch “the experience of the supercondible delivery, to cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Colorado Springs, Philadelphia, Rockeville (in Maryland), and San Francisco.
Technology that operates this upgrade depends on a called a called L4sWhich symbolizes “decreased cumin, low loss, developmentable productivity”. My former colleague Mitchell Clark has A comprehensive explanation Among what L4s is supposed to do, but the intention is that technology can significantly reduce cumin so that things like video games are smoother and that video calls seem to speak in real life without delays and authorities.
This L4s pulls this by giving the internet packages an indication that allows them to know if it has faced crowding or lining up along any of the hops for their journey between the user and anything they call. If there is a delay, the devices can start adapting to stop making crowding worse – and perhaps eliminating it completely.
As Mitchell explains, physics laws cannot be bowed to make data faster than light speed, but it can reduce additional delay in the medium that slows your connections. Although the frequency range promotions we have seen over the years of demand for wide range have increased the amount of information transmitted, this change will actually make the Internet feel faster for one time.
Comics says you will initially see low construction improvements with FaceTime, Nvidia’s GeForce Now, and “Many Games” on Steam and “Apps on Meta mixed in reality headphones that will support this technology.” Apple, NVIDIA and VALVE cooperated with Comcast During her experiences Of this technology, Apple has received support for L4S built -in its devices since iOS 17 and MacOS Sonoma.
Comcast also notes that the technology “will expand to any additional content and application service providers who choose to take advantage of the new open technology for their own products.”
I did not try technology myself, so I can’t personally talk about the feeling of improvements in practice. But according to COMCAST spokesman Joel Shaer, during the experiments, “We were able to reduce the general arrival time, see a significant improvement.”
When it is published “Fullly published”, Kumox says that the low rescue technology will be available to “all Xfinity Internet”.
