Less than a month ago, I wrote about Comcast’s deployment of DOCSIS 3.0 in New England and areas of Philadelphia and New Jersey, following up on the Minneapolis/St. Paul market. I mentioned that they expected to reach more than 10 major markets in the coming months.

Here we go: Comcast launches DOCSIS 3.0 in Oregon and Southwest Washington, including such communities as Aberdeen, Spokane, Beaverton, and Eugene. The Extreme 50 tier offers download speeds of up to 50 Mbps. Comcast will also double speeds for the majority of existing high-speed Internet customers at no additional cost.

The company has a web page which allows you to check if wideband is available in your area or to sign up for e-mail updates when it is rolled out to you.

UPDATE: Media coverage.

• Comcast Rolls Wideband in the Pacific Northwest
• Comcast’s 50 Mbps service comes to OR, WA next month
