As part of the nation’s largest and fastest multi-gig deployment, Comcast announced today that it is expanding the Xfinity 10G Network to Inverness and areas of Citrus County to reach an additional 16,000 homes and businesses. Inverness and surrounding areas in Citrus County are the latest communities in Florida to roll out these Xfinity 10G Network enhancements, setting the stage for the introduction of new multi-gigabit symmetrical Internet options that can be delivered across Comcast’s existing networks with less cost.
This expansion represents another area in Florida where Comcast is bringing its Xfinity 10G Network -- the broadband network built to power the rapid rise in Internet consumption today and in the future. The expansion covers portions of the City of Inverness and surrounding areas in Citrus County, including Inverness Highlands South, parts of the area around the Inverness Golf and Country Club, and portions of Floral City.
“Comcast’s Citrus County expansion will bridge big and small communities across this county to the power of the Internet,” said Jeff Buzzelli, Senior Vice President of the Comcast Florida Region. “Internet access is vital in today’s increasingly digital world – from employment opportunities to learning new job skills, and even receiving medical care via telehealth requires a fast, reliable Internet connection.”
“Connectivity for businesses of all sizes is critical for its success in today’s marketplace,” said Rich Rollins, Vice President of Business Services for Comcast’s Florida Region. “Starting from its online presence to its point-of-sale system, having high-speed, reliable, and secure Internet access is how business gets done.”
Comcast expects to complete the expansion early in 2024. Residents should visit Xfinity.com/MyTown and enter their addresses to get additional details on services and when they will be available at their homes.
