Comcast Deepens Investment in the Community
with $40,000 Donation to Two Hagerstown-Based Nonprofits for
Digital Skills Training
Comcast today announced a major expansion to connect more than
50,000 homes and businesses in the Hagerstown, MD area to reliable,
high-speed, symmetrical Internet. The project brings Internet,
mobile, entertainment, and security services from Xfinity and
Comcast Business to residents and businesses for the first
time.
Comcast’s network expansion includes all homes and businesses in
the City of Hagerstown, as well as surrounding communities such as
Cavetown, Fairplay, Funkstown, Smithsburg, Tilghmanton and
Williamsport.
“Fast, reliable Internet is critical to our region’s ability to
attract businesses and meet residents’ ever-expanding technological
needs,” said Mayor William “Bill” McIntire, City of Hagerstown. “We
are thrilled to have a new provider offering advanced connectivity
solutions and applaud Comcast for this significant investment.”
Xfinity and Comcast Business services are already available to
thousands of addresses across the Hagerstown area, with additional
homes and businesses rolling out in phases. Residents can visit
Xfinity.com/mytown to enter their address for additional details on
construction timing and upcoming service availability.
“We’re proud to expand our reliable, secure and peak-performance
network to more than 50,000 homes and businesses across the
Hagerstown area – bringing choice for high-speed Internet, business
solutions, entertainment and more,” said Ray Roundtree, Senior Vice
President of Comcast’s Beltway Region. “We have a dedicated team of
local experts who are excited to help more residents and businesses
get connected to Xfinity and Comcast Business services.”
What It Means for the Hagerstown Community
Comcast’s commitment to communities goes beyond building the
network and aims to increase economic mobility for the local
community and its residents. That’s why Comcast created Internet
Essentials, a broadband adoption program that offers eligible
households low-cost, high-speed Internet and affordable
computers.
Additionally, Comcast is deeply committed to advancing digital
opportunity in the communities it serves and announced a donation
of $40,000 to Horizon Goodwill Industries and the Boys & Girls
Club of Washington County, two nonprofits based in Hagerstown.
These investments are focused on helping people build digital
skills, accelerating career development opportunities and funding
connectivity and Internet adoption programs.
A Network You Can Trust to be Reliable, Fast and
Secure
Comcast’s state-of-the-art network is built to enable residents
and businesses to thrive in today’s constantly connected world.

speeds, 99.9 percent reliability and built-in security to help keep
