Comcast Brings Fiber-Rich Network to More Homes and Businesses in Chester County

Adding to its investment in Chester County, Comcast announced it is expanding its smart, fast and reliable fiber-rich network to hundreds of additional residents and businesses in the borough of Elverson. Additionally, the expansion to Honey Brook Borough, is now complete – reaching an additional 2,000 residents and businesses.

Soon, Elverson will have access to the full suite of Xfinity residential and Comcast Business services, including residential broadband Internet speeds of up to 1.2 gigabits per second (Gbps) for residences and up to 100 Gbps for businesses.

“We, in Elverson, are thrilled to welcome Comcast to our town to provide residents and businesses with a choice when selecting their broadband provider,” said Mayor Esther Prosser. “I see competition as good for Elverson, and Comcast will provide that, helping to make our greatest square mile a more attractive place to live and work.”

“We are proud to continue investing in Chester County,” said Dennis Mathew, Senior Vice President, Comcast Freedom Region. “Through our network expansion work, we’re able to bring our reliable network to more homes and businesses and provide them with the Internet speed, security and functionality that keeps them connected.”
