WASHINGTON, D.C. – December 11, 2018 – Comcast Business today announced a multi-million dollar investment in the expansion of its fiber-based network in Washington, D.C., reaching more than 300 additional buildings and directly benefiting hundreds of more businesses by making the network more accessible. Capable of delivering up to 100 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) of network capacity, the fiber optic Ethernet network expansion supports advanced services and gives Comcast Business the ability to give new customers, ranging from small and medium-sized organizations to large enterprises, quick access to its network.

“We know that D.C. is a great place to do business, and investments like these keep us at the top of our game,” said Mayor Muriel Bowser. “As our local businesses continue to grow and thrive, we thank Comcast for their commitment to providing the cutting-edge resources that keep us competitive and help us attract and retain world-class people, ideas, and organizations.”

While the Comcast Business network already serves many of the District’s largest companies and hundreds of businesses, this expansion has deployed additional miles of new fiber in Washington, D.C.’s Dupont Circle, Logan Circle and Franklin Square neighborhoods, which include both aerial and underground Ethernet extensions, connecting businesses along Connecticut Avenue, Massachusetts Avenue, Rhode Island Avenue, New Hampshire Avenue, New York Avenue, Vermont Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue.
