Comcast Kicks Off Construction of High-Speed Internet Network Across Indiana

Expansion to power faster and more reliable network for 10,000+ residents, businesses

INDIANAPOLIS, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast announced the kickoff of construction of its next-generation network in Fayette, Rush, Delaware, Boone, Shelby, Morgan and Miami counties. Upon completion, more than 10,000 residents and businesses will have access to the full suite of Xfinity and Comcast Business services, including built-in cybersecurity, affordable Internet plans, and a robust video offering spanning TV and streaming.

The multi-million-dollar joint investment is the latest from Comcast in partnership with the State of Indiana's Next Level Connections Broadband Grant Program, which has invested $350 million toward improving broadband access and adoption in the state. 

"We are working to ensure that every Hoosier has access to high-speed, reliable, affordable broadband," said Steve Cox, Indiana's Chief Broadband Officer. "Connecting every corner of our state will provide economic mobility and connect residents and businesses to a better quality of life. With this partnership, Comcast is helping us make that happen."

Overall, Comcast has invested more than $80 billion in the last 10 years to grow and evolve its expansive fiber-rich network across the company's service footprint nationwide, including nearly $600 million the company has invested in its network in Indiana over the last three years.

"Comcast is proud to continue its commitment to rural Hoosiers by kicking off construction work and ensuring even more homes have access to faster and more reliable Internet," said Joni Hart, vice president of Government Affairs for Comcast Indiana. "Through our network that delivers 99.9% reliability, residents can participate in services like e-learning, utilize healthcare online, and rely on broadband access in their communities."

Comcast's more than 49,000 miles of fiber-rich network infrastructure across Indiana allows the company to offer Internet speeds faster than a gigabit to residential and business customers in its service footprint. In addition, Comcast has more than 65,500 WiFi hotspots in Indiana and more than 23 million nationwide.

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. Additional homes in Fayette, Rush, Delaware, Boone, Shelby, Morgan and Miami counties join 64 million homes and businesses across the country to have access to a network that is trusted by essential community organizations like hospitals, schools, transportation systems and first responders. It delivers multi-gigabit Internet speeds, 99.9 percent reliability and security built in from the ground up to keep customers safe from cyber threats. 

Introducing Xfinity for Consumers 

Comcast's residential services are marketed under the Xfinity and NOW brands and consumers in the company's Indiana footprint can take advantage of Xfinity's and NOW's full suite of products, including Internet, video, mobile, voice and home security.

What it Means for Residents 

Comcast's commitment to communities goes beyond building the network and aims to increase economic mobility for the local community and its residents.

The program has helped more than 772,000 Indiana residents connect to the Internet since its launch in 2011.
