'Having reliable Internet service is essential for us to grow the local economy by providing the best service to our residents.'įrom 2019-2021, Comcast invested $88.4 million in the state of West Virginia to improve and expand its network and continue delivering reliable, secure, and fast connectivity to its customers. 'Reliable broadband service is essential to Beech Bottom's business community,' said Brooke County Commission President A.J. 'We're thankful for Comcast's investment, as well as the state and federal resources that have been dedicated to support broadband expansion efforts for our residents in Brooke County.' 'The last few years have shown us just how critical broadband access is for our residents,' said West Virginia Senator Ryan Weld.

This program is being presented with financial assistance as a grant from the West Virginia Department of Economic Development, Office of Broadband. Comcast's ongoing expansion efforts include plans to reach another 2,800 homes and businesses in Brooke, Hancock and Ohio counties as part of West Virginia's Line Extension Advancement and Development (LEAD) program and its Major Broadband Project Strategies (MBPS) program. In 2019, Comcast expanded its network to 800 homes and businesses in Bruceton Mills in northern Preston County. 'Expanding our high-speed and reliable Internet access to Preston and Brooke counties will help ensure that more residents and businesses have the important broadband connections they need for their educational, professional and personal lives.' 'We are proud to further our investment in Beech Bottom, Windsor Heights, Rowlesburg and Terra Alta,' said Ray Roundtree, Senior Vice President for Comcast's Keystone Region. The company plans to complete these expansions later this year. Comcast now offers its full suite of services, including Xfinity residential broadband speeds up to 1.2 gigabits per second and Comcast Business speeds up to 100 Gbps to homes and businesses in Beech Bottom and Windsor Heights and has started rolling out services to residents in Terra Alta.
