Comcast announces expansion of its smart, fast and reliable fiber-based Xfinity network to thousands of additional homes and businesses in New London and Windham Counties in Connecticut. This includes bringing its advanced products and services to nearly 2,200 additional homes and businesses in Griswold. Additionally, for the first time, the Xfinity network will be brought to 500 homes and businesses in Sterling. Residents can visit Xfinity.com and businesses can visit Business.Comcast.com to see if their address is eligible for service. Construction is currently underway, with projects expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
“As we expand our gigabit-speed network further into Griswold and enter Sterling, we bring more choices for powerful broadband and cost-effective mobile to even more residents and businesses across New London and Windham Counties,” said Carolyne Hannan, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s New England Region. “Comcast is proud to invest in Eastern Connecticut – and the state as a whole – to ensure more people can adopt secure, reliable and fast connectivity at a price that matches their needs with a local, dedicated team."
