Comcast is connecting more than 400 additional homes in Greensboro to reliable, high-speed, symmetrical Internet by expanding its network. This expansion will enhance digital infrastructure, promote economic growth, and position residents and local businesses for success in an increasingly digital world. The company also completed construction of its previously announced project to connect more than 400 homes and small businesses in Westmore. These network expansions bring Internet, mobile, entertainment, and security services from Xfinity and Comcast Business to residents and businesses for the first time.
“Comcast is committed to serving Vermont and we’re continuously expanding our network to ensure more residents and businesses have the connectivity they need to thrive,” said Carolyne Hannan, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s New England Region. “By bringing our fast, reliable and secure Internet to hundreds of addresses in Greensboro and Westmore, we’re providing a new option in the area and delivering the best WiFi experience in and out of the home, which we know is critical in the more rural areas of the state.”
Residents can visit Xfinity.com/mytown and enter their addresses for additional details on construction timing and upcoming service availability. The Greensboro project is expected to be completed early next year. Comcast’s most recent expansion in Orleans County is part of the company’s latest investment in Vermont, which also includes the recently completed expansion to Westmore, as well as expansions to Elmore, Eden, Sudbury, Wardsboro and Wolcott.
A Network You Can Trust to be Reliable, Fast and Secure
Comcast’s state-of-the-art network is built to enable residents and businesses to thrive in today’s constantly connected world. Greensboro and Westmore join the more than 63 million homes and businesses across the country to have access to a network that is trusted by essential community organizations like hospitals, schools, transportation systems and first responders, and federal agencies like the Department of Defense and FEMA. It delivers gigabit Internet speeds, 99.9 percent reliability and built-in security to help keep customers safe from cyber threats.
Introducing Xfinity for Consumers
Comcast’s residential services are marketed under the Xfinity brand, and consumers in Greensboro will be able to take advantage of Xfinity’s full suite of products, including Internet, video, mobile, voice and home security. With gigabit 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.
Comcast Business to Power Greensboro
For local businesses, Comcast Business offers a suite of connectivity, communications, networking, cybersecurity, wireless, and managed solutions to help organizations of all sizes achieve their business goals. Industry analysts and associations have consistently recognized Comcast Business as a leader and innovator in flexible, scalable options as well as one of the fastest-growing providers of Ethernet services.
What It Means for the Orleans County Community
Comcast’s commitment to communities goes beyond building the network and aims to increase economic mobility for the local community and its residents. That’s why Comcast created Internet Essentials, a broadband adoption program that offers eligible households low-cost, high-speed Internet and affordable computers. Additionally, over the past three years, Comcast has invested more than $3 million in cash and in-kind donations to support 50 nonprofits across Vermont focused on helping people build digital skills, expanding WiFi-connected Lift Zones and funding connectivity and Internet adoption programs.
