Comcast Enhances Internet Access in Montgomery County

In a significant move for residents and businesses in Montgomery County, Comcast has officially completed the construction of its advanced fiber network. This monumental upgrade grants more than 1,200 local homes and businesses access to dependable, high-speed internet.

With an investment of nearly $600 million over the past three years in Indiana, Comcast is committed to enhancing connectivity across the state. The Montgomery County expansion is a critical step in providing robust digital services that are essential in today’s fast-paced environment.

Jim Fulwider, a Montgomery County Commissioner, highlighted the importance of this expansion, saying, "Bringing fiber connections to rural Montgomery County is a top priority. We are grateful for Comcast's investment in the unserved and underserved areas of Waveland, Waynetown, Ladoga, New Market, and southern Crawfordsville. This partnership enhances economic development and ensures our community can thrive with reliable internet."

The expansion aligns with the Indiana state government's Next Level Connections Broadband Grant Program, which has allocated $350 million to improve broadband access within the state. Steve Cox, Indiana's Chief Broadband Officer, praised the efforts: "We are working to ensure that every Hoosier has access to affordable high-speed broadband service. Connecting every corner of our state is crucial for economic mobility and improving the quality of life for all residents. Comcast's commitment significantly contributes to this goal."
