Tech leader's investment will bring an all-new
fiber network to Inverness Highlands North
CITRUS
COUNTY, Fla., June 2, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Comcast is building a new and powerful fiber
network across new parts of Citrus
County, Florida, getting ready to connect communities to
fast, reliable Internet. Once completed, more than 4,000 new homes
and businesses will be able to access Xfinity and Comcast Business
services.
Comcast will build a new fiber network in Inverness Highlands
North. The specific area is located South of East Perry Street,
North of East Gulf to Lake Highway, West of North Crestwood Avenue
and East of North Croft Avenue.
"We're excited to see Comcast furthering their investment in
Citrus County by expanding their
network," said Josh Wooten,
President of the Citrus County Chamber. "Reliable, high-speed
Internet is essential, whether you're working remotely, learning
online or streaming your favorite shows. Comcast's continued
expansion in our community gives residents and businesses a
powerful new fiber connectivity option and reinforces why
Citrus County is such an ideal
place to live, work and grow a business."
This new, next-generation network will give Citrus County access to faster Internet speeds
that outperform competitors — up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) for
residential customers and up to 100 Gbps for businesses. With this
fiber-to-the-home technology, customers can access symmetrical
speeds which means faster uploads than ever before.
"We're excited to continue expanding into more areas of
Citrus County and getting to know
this community. We're committed to being not just a service
provider - but a trusted local partner," said Jeff Buzzelli, Senior Vice President of
Comcast's Florida Region. "Whether it's with Comcast Business or
Xfinity services, business and homes in and around Inverness
Highlands North will soon have a great connectivity option. We're
eager to earn their business with best-in-class products and
services like Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile."
In June of last year, Comcast announced the activation of an
$8 million fiber-rich network in
Inverness, Hernando, Floral
City and Beverly Hills.
Introducing Xfinity for Consumers
Comcast's residential services are marketed under Xfinity, and
consumers in Citrus County will be
able to take advantage of Xfinity's full suite of products,
including Internet, video, mobile, voice and home security. With
fast 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 Citrus County's Workforce
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.
Accessing Affordable Internet
Comcast is committed to making Internet accessible and
affordable across communities in Florida. Since 2011, the technology leader has
offered Internet Essentials. The program provides low-cost
Internet service, digital skills training and subsidized computers
to eligible income-constrained households. Internet Essentials has
helped hundreds of thousands of Floridians since its launch in
2011, including students, senior citizens, veterans and people with
disabilities enrolled in public assistance programs and
more.
Comcast's commitment to Citrus
County can be seen in its involvement throughout the
community. From participating in local events like Small Town
Saturday Night to hosting small business takeovers through Comcast
Business, the team is eager to connect with residents and business
owners. Last month, Comcast Business collaborated with Angelo's
Pizzeria at 301 W. Main Street in Inverness to offer the first 100 customers two
free slices of pizza and a fountain beverage.
Residents can visit Xfinity.com/mytown and enter their addresses
for additional details on construction timing and upcoming service
availability. This project is expected to be completed by late
2025. Comcast's expansion in Citrus
County is one of many recent expansions in the region, which
also include expansions in Charlotte
County, Kingsland, GA, and
Coral Springs.
