HIGHLANDS COUNTY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Comcast announced a major milestone today in the company’s continued efforts to bring rural Floridians fast, reliable connectivity. Xfinity and Comcast Business services are now available to more than 4,000 homes and businesses in Highlands County including more than 1,800 previously unserved locations.

Families and entrepreneurs now have access to high-speed Internet from America’s smartest and most reliable converged network. Xfinity brings Internet, mobile, entertainment, and smart home services into one simple, seamless solution – giving customers more speed, savings, and control over their connected lives. Highlands County now joins the 65 million homes and businesses nationwide with access to a network that fuels innovation, productivity, and everyday connection.

“Reliable, high-speed Internet is no longer a luxury. It is needed for education, healthcare, business growth and everyday life,” said Chris Campbell, Vice Chair of the Highlands County Commission. “Expanding broadband in Highlands County creates new opportunities for residents, supports local businesses and helps ensure our community remains connected and competitive. We appreciate Comcast’s investment in Highlands County and look forward to the benefits this expanded network will bring to our residents and the business community.”

This summer, construction will continue expanding the network to more than 1,200 additional locations in Highlands County, with completion expected by the end of 2026. Residents can visit Xfinity.com/MyTown and businesses should visit ComcastBusiness.com to see if services are available. They can also visit the Xfinity store in Highlands County located at 3010 Herring Ave, Sebring, FL 33870 for assistance.

“This milestone reflects the momentum we’re building across Florida as we expand fast, reliable connectivity to more communities,” said Kristeen Cominiello, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Florida Region. “We’re proud to bring Comcast Business and Xfinity services to Highlands County and connect more residents and businesses to digital opportunity. And we’re not slowing down. We’ll continue building to even more locations across the county in the months ahead.”

The broadband infrastructure project was made possible thanks to a public-private partnership with the state of Florida’s Broadband Opportunity Program and Capital Projects Fund.
