Reliable, High-Speed Internet from Xfinity Coming to Leon County\u2019s Rural Communities<\/b><\/p>\n

More Than 3,300 Homes and Businesses in Rural Florida Will Be Connected to America\u2019s Smartest and Most Reliable Converged WiFi Network for the First Time<\/i><\/p>\n

LEON COUNTY, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nComcast announced today that efforts are ongoing and underway to bring rural Floridians world-class connectivity. More than 100 previously unserved homes and businesses in Leon County\u2019s Chaires community now have access to multi-gigabit, symmetrical Internet from America\u2019s smartest and most reliable converged network. This summer, construction will continue to expand the network to more than 3,200 additional locations in Leon County\u2019s rural communities, bringing them high-speed Internet access for the very first time.<\/p>\n

\nThe project was made possible thanks to a public-private partnership with the state of Florida\u2019s Broadband Opportunity Program and includes locations in and around the communities of Blocker, Concord, Felkel, Gardner, Lutterloh, Meridan, Miccosukee, Wadesboro and Woodville.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAccess to fast, reliable Internet is no longer a luxury, it\u2019s how people participate in everyday life,\u201d said Christian Caban, Chairman of the Leon County Board of County Commissioners. \u201cThis expansion helps close the digital divide in our rural communities and continues our commitment to ensure every family, student, and small business in Leon County has a fair shot to succeed in today\u2019s economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nXfinity brings Internet, mobile, entertainment, and smart home services into one simple, seamless solution \u2013 giving customers more speed, savings, and control over their connected lives. These Leon County communities join the 65 million homes and businesses nationwide with access to a network that fuels innovation, productivity, and everyday connection.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis is a really exciting step forward for Leon County,\u201d said Keith Bowers, Director for the Office of Economic Vitality. \u201cReliable, high\u2011speed Internet opens the door to so many opportunities for our residents and small businesses, and we\u2019re thrilled to see more rural communities coming online soon. We appreciate Comcast\u2019s partnership and their continued investment in connecting more corners of our beautiful community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be building a new fiber network to bring fast, reliable Internet to Leon County communities that simply have not had it,\u201d said Kristeen Cominiello, Regional Senior Vice President of Comcast Florida. \u201cFor many families, this will be their first experience with this level of connectivity, unlocking new opportunities for education, jobs, small businesses, and staying connected to loved ones. We\u2019re excited to expand Xfinity and Comcast Business services and help more people fully participate in today\u2019s digital world.\u201d<\/p>\n
