Dec 11, 2024
Comcast said Wednesday it had finished hooking up six Minnesota cities with high-speed Internet and related services such as mobile, voice, video and home security, which will be available to 2,400 homes and businesses.
Three of the cities — Stillwater, Hugo and Grant — are in Washington County near St. Paul.
The others are Cologne, Rogers and Corcoran.
Over the past three years, Comcast has invested more than $525 million in technology and infrastructure in Minnesota, including upgrades to its network, the company said. This includes expansions in Chanhassen and Nowthen that are slated to get built out in 2025.
“More than 63 million homes and businesses across the country have access to a network that is trusted by essential community organizations like hospitals, schools, transportation systems and first responders, and federal agencies like the Department of Defense and FEMA. It delivers multi-gigabit Internet speeds, 99.9 percent reliability and security built in from the ground up to keep customers safe from cyber threats,” Comcast said in a press release.
Comcast’s services include:
Xfinity, Internet services and gear that that are tailored to the home (and, are for some, synonymous with the Comcast master brand).
Symmetrical Internet, with speeds that are just as fast either way and make it competitive with the likes of Quantum Fiber Internet
Internet Essentials, a broadband adoption program with a super low cost of entry that makes it compatible with PCs for People.
