Investment to Bring Comcast Business' Advanced
Solutions Including Internet Speeds up to 100 Gigabits
RESTON,
Va., Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast
Business today announced a $3 million
investment to expand its smart, fast and reliable fiber-rich
network in Charlottesville,
Chesterfield, Fredericksburg, Reston, Sterling and Woodbridge, with plans to complete by the end
of this year.
"High-speed Internet and secure networking services are a
must-have to attract businesses," said Barry DuVal, President
& CEO, Virginia Chamber of
Commerce. "The latest investments and network expansions across
Virginia are a testament to Comcast Business' commitment to
fostering economic development in our local communities."
This expansion will extend the company's high-performance
Ethernet, Internet and advanced voice solutions, among other
services, to more than 250 businesses and organizations in the
areas. This investment comes on the heels of a $28 million regionwide network expansion project,
which was completed in June 2022 and
connected nearly 7,000 additional businesses across areas in
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.
Capable of delivering speeds up to 1.2 Gigabit-per-second (Gbps)
or more for small and medium-sized businesses, and up to 100 Gbps
for larger enterprises, the latest network expansion will support
the ability to bring new customers online quickly with advanced
services, including fast business WiFi, cybersecurity solutions, 4G
LTE backup, business TV and more. Additionally, businesses of all
sizes will have access to a comprehensive portfolio of Comcast
Business products and services to help meet the day-to-day demands
that require large amounts of bandwidth, linking multiple sites or
branch locations or connecting offices to third-party data
centers.
"Capacity, network performance and security are critical factors
in doing business today. With Comcast's latest fiber-rich expansion
in Virginia, more local businesses
will now have access to additional technology service options that
will help them to be more successful and outpace their
competition," said Dan Carr,
Regional Vice President of Comcast's Beltway Region. "We're proud
to continue to make significant investments across Virginia that
increase the availability of our multi-gigabit Ethernet services
and help customers meet the demands and capacity needs required of
next-generation technology."
