Comcast today announced it is investing more than $1 million to extend its fiber-rich network and bring fast and reliable gigabit-powered Internet to more residents and businesses in downtown Knoxville.
Comcast has started the network expansion work, installing miles of hybrid-fiber coaxial infrastructure in downtown Knoxville. Upon completion, hundreds of additional residents and businesses in the area will be able to access Xfinity and Comcast Business’s full suite of services, including residential broadband speeds up to 3 gigabits per second (Gbps) and business Internet speeds up to 100 Gbps.
“We understand the positive impact that advanced broadband can have in our communities,” said Jason Gumbs, Regional SVP for Comcast. “We’re proud to further our commitments in Knoxville and we look forward to more opportunities to bring our technologies to East Tennessee.”
