Comcast has announced the completion of construction of its next-generation fiber network in Montgomery County. More than 1,200 residents and businesses now have access to the full suite of Xfinity and Comcast Business services, including built-in cybersecurity, affordable Internet plans, and a robust video offering spanning TV and streaming. Comcast has invested nearly $600 million to grow and evolve its expansive fiber-rich network in Indiana over the last three years.
Comcast’s investment comes in partnership with the State of Indiana’s Next Level Connections Broadband Grant Program, which has invested $350 million toward improving broadband access and adoption in the state. Comcast’s state-of-the-art network is built to enable residents and businesses to thrive in today’s constantly connected world. Montgomery County joins 64 million homes and businesses that have access to a network that is trusted by essential community organizations like hospitals, schools, transportation systems and first responders. It delivers symmetrical speeds, 99.9 percent reliability and security built in from the ground up to keep customers safe from cyber threats.
Comcast’s residential services are marketed under the Xfinity brand and consumers in the company’s Indiana footprint can take advantage of Xfinity’s full suite of products, including Internet, video, mobile, voice and home security. With symmetrical Internet speeds, powerful WiFi that reaches every corner of the home, and super-responsive connections with low lag available with its plan, customers have a great experience using their connected devices to stream their favorite sports and entertainment content, video chat with coworkers and friends, learn from home or simply surf the web.
Jim Fulwider, Montgomery County Commissioner
Bringing fiber connections to rural Montgomery County is a top priority, and we are grateful for Comcast’s investment in the unserved and underserved areas of Waveland, Waynetown, Ladoga, New Market and southern Crawfordsville. By working together, we’ve made it possible for these newly connected homes and businesses to thrive with reliable, high-speed Internet.
