Comcast 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.
“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,” said Jim Fulwider, Montgomery County Commissioner. “By working together, we’ve made it possible for these newly connected homes and businesses to thrive with reliable, high-speed Internet.”
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.
“We are working to ensure that every Hoosier has access to high-speed, reliable, affordable broadband,” said Steve Cox, Indiana’s Chief Broadband Officer. “Connecting every corner of our state will provide economic mobility and connect residents and businesses to a better quality of life. With this partnership, Comcast is helping us make that happen."
Overall, Comcast has invested nearly $600 million to grow and evolve its expansive fiber-rich network in Indiana over the last three years and operates more than 65,500 WiFi hotspots across the state.
“For rural communities to continue to grow, residents and businesses need to know they can count on high-speed internet access,” said Joni Hart, vice president of Government Affairs, Comcast Indiana. “Comcast is proud to continue its commitment to rural Hoosiers by bringing our nextgeneration network home to Montgomery County.”
