Comcast announced it is expanding its Xfinity network to Northfield, delivering Xfinity and Comcast Business services to more than 2,100 additional residents and businesses in Merrimack County. Construction is underway to deliver the full suite of Xfinity and Comcast Business products, including Xfinity Internet and Mobile as well as Comcast Business Internet and Mobile, with the project expected to be completed in summer 2025.
“We are committed to investing in and expanding our network to ensure that more residents and businesses in New Hampshire have the connectivity they need to succeed,” said Carolyne Hannan, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s New England Region. “Bringing our fast, secure and reliable Internet services to Northfield will ensure that more residents and businesses have additional broadband options for their educational, professional and personal lives.”
Residents and businesses can visit Xfinity.com or ComcastBusiness.com, or visit their local Xfinity Store at 1458 Lake Shore Road in Gilford to see if service is available. Experts at the Xfinity Store can also help with product demonstrations, answer any questions consumers may have and help local businesses schedule an informational meeting with the Comcast Business sales team.
Comcast’s most recent expansion to Northfield is part of the company’s latest investment in New Hampshire. Comcast has expanded to other New Hampshire communities, including Belmont, Gilford, Laconia, Rochester and Tilton.

Comcast’s network and Internet experience are powering homes today and into the future.
- Ultimate Capacity: Xfinity customers connect more than 1 billion devices across the company’s network annually. With the next-generation Xfinity gateways, we deliver the most advanced WiFi technology carrying three times more bandwidth to power streaming, gaming, videoconferencing, and more, simultaneously.
- Fastest Internet: Nearly a third of Xfinity Internet customers subscribe to gigabit speed products. Recently Comcast connected the first customers in the world to a DOCSIS 4.0 connection, delivering symmetrical gig speeds over existing connections in customers’ homes with plans to continue to rollout these speeds across the country over the coming years.
- Unprecedented Coverage: The latest Xfinity Gateway provides a more reliable connection throughout the home. Customers can get wall-to-wall WiFi coverage with a powerful WiFi Boost Pod that extends coverage to hard-to-reach areas of the home.
- Most Reliable Connection: Comcast is scaling the nation’s largest and most reliable network that passes 62 million homes and businesses and counting. The company launched Storm-Ready WiFi, a new device that comes powered with cellular and battery backup to help keep customers connected even when the power goes out.
- Ultra-Low Latency: The Xfinity network and the latest Xfinity Gateway are a powerful combination that deliver ultra-low latency for those moments when response times matter most like video games, a fast-growing category with Xfinity households averaging more than one gaming console per home.
In addition, the readers of the Laconia Daily Sun recognized both Xfinity and Comcast Business as the #1 Internet provider as part of the publication’s “Best of the Lakes Region” Product of the Year awards.
Comcast established a Lift Zone with WiFi service at the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region in Laconia in 2021 along with 8 other Lift Zones in New Hampshire, providing free WiFi service to help these community centers promote digital learning. Lift Zones, which provide internet access on-the-go, complement our Internet Essentials program that provides in-home broadband connectivity. Lift Zones help students, veterans, and anyone who, for a variety of reasons (including homelessness, or housing insecurity issues), need somewhere to go during the day to connect to the Internet. Lift Zones are part of Project UP, Comcast’s comprehensive $1 billion commitment to help build a future of unlimited possibilities and the continuation of the company’s long history of giving back to communities where it provides service and where its employees live and work.
