Expansion to power faster and more reliable
network for 10,000+ residents, businesses
INDIANAPOLIS, May 28, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Comcast announced the kickoff of construction of
its next-generation network in Fayette, Rush, Delaware, Boone, Shelby, Morgan and Miami counties. Upon completion, more than
10,000 residents and businesses will 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.
The multi-million-dollar joint investment is the latest from
Comcast 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 more than $80 billion in the last 10 years to grow and
evolve its expansive fiber-rich network across the company's
service footprint nationwide, including nearly $600 million the company has invested in its
network in Indiana over the last
three years.
"Comcast is proud to continue its commitment to rural Hoosiers
by kicking off construction work and ensuring even more homes have
access to faster and more reliable Internet," said Joni Hart, vice president of Government Affairs
for Comcast Indiana. "Through our network that delivers 99.9%
reliability, residents can participate in services like e-learning,
utilize healthcare online, and rely on broadband access in their
communities."
Comcast's more than 49,000 miles of fiber-rich network
infrastructure across Indiana
allows the company to offer Internet speeds faster than a gigabit
to residential and business customers in its service footprint. In
addition, Comcast has more than 65,500 WiFi hotspots in
Indiana and more than 23 million
nationwide.
A Network You Can Trust to be Reliable, Fast and
Secure

and businesses to thrive in today's constantly connected world.
Additional homes in Fayette,
Rush, Delaware, Boone, Shelby, Morgan and Miami counties join 64 million homes and
businesses across the country to have access to a network that is

schools, transportation systems and first responders. It delivers
multi-gigabit Internet speeds, 99.9 percent reliability and
