Comcast has announced it has connected the first residents in Leonardtown, Maryland (St. Mary’s County) to Xfinity and Comcast Business services.
These are the first of 5,800 homes and businesses that Comcast is connecting in the Leonardtown area. This expansion in Leonardtown deepens Comcast’s investment in St. Mary’s County, MD – where the company is undergoing a broader network expansion – ultimately connecting more than 30,000 residents and businesses across the county to Xfinity and Comcast Business services for the first time.
“Expanding broadband access is a top priority for St. Mary’s County, and we are thrilled to see Comcast making this significant investment in our community,” said Randy Guy, President of the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County. “Connecting more than 30,000 residents and businesses to high-speed Internet will strengthen our local economy, enhance educational opportunities, and improve the overall quality of life for our citizens. This expansion not only increases connectivity but also provides our residents and businesses with more choices for reliable digital access, ensuring they have the options they need to stay connected in today’s world.”
Comcast also announced a donation totaling $47,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Maryland and the Arc Southern Maryland – two local nonprofits with facilities in St. Mary’s County. These investments are focused on helping people build digital skills, accelerating career development opportunities, and funding connectivity and Internet adoption programs.
“As St. Mary’s County continues to grow and attract new businesses, we are proud to bolster our investment in the region and bring our state-of-the-art network to thousands more residents and small businesses,” said Ray Roundtree, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Beltway Region. “Our network delivers gig speeds, world-class reliability, and the best WiFi experience in-and-out of the home, and we’re excited to help more Xfinity and Comcast Business customers thrive in St. Mary’s County.”
