Network Expansion Continues to Deliver Fast, Reliable Internet and More

POLAND TOWNSHIP, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Comcast today announced it is expanding its fast, reliable fiber-rich network to more than 17,000 homes and businesses in Mahoning County in Eastern Ohio. Construction is ongoing in Poland Township and Poland Village and will begin in Boardman Township and the City of Struthers later this year. The full project will be complete in 2025 and residents will begin to have access to Comcast’s full suite of services this spring.

“The expansion of the Xfinity network in Mahoning County is part of our commitment to connecting residents to fast, reliable Internet,” said Ricky Frazier Jr., Senior Vice President for Comcast’s Keystone Region. “We’re proud to offer residents additional Internet and entertainment options for their personal, professional, and everyday lives.”

Residents and businesses can visit Xfinity.com/MyTown and enter their addresses for additional details on construction timing and upcoming service availability. They can also visit their local Xfinity store at 216 Chippewa Town Center, Beaver Falls, PA 15010.

In addition to Mahoning County, Comcast currently serves customers in more than 65 municipalities in Ohio including areas within Belmont, Columbiana, Harrison, and Jefferson Counties. Comcast also has a Lift Zone at The Bay Six Project located at 618 Commercial Street, Mingo Junction, OH 43938. Lift Zones are part of Project UP, Comcast’s $1 billion commitment to advance digital equity through programs and community partnerships that connect people to the Internet, advance economic mobility, and open doors for the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, storytellers, and creators.

Comcast’s network and Internet experience are powering homes today and into the future.

• Ultimate Capacity: Xfinity customers connect more than 1 billion devices across the company’s network annually. With the next-generation Xfinity gateways we deliver the most advanced WiFi technology carrying three times more bandwidth to power streaming, gaming, videoconferencing, and more, simultaneously.
• Fastest Internet: More than a third of Xfinity Internet customers subscribe to gigabit speed products.
