Comcast is committed to bringing connectivity to more areas in Kansas and worked closely with the City of Spring Hill to make fast Internet a reality for all. The expansion will bring residential broadband speeds faster than 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) and business speeds up to 100 Gbps. Over the past three years, Comcast has enhanced its network and product offerings to reach more residents and businesses in the surrounding area with gigabit-capable speeds. In that time, Comcast has invested more than $12.6 million in technology and infrastructure in Kansas, including upgrades to our network; this Spring Hill expansion brings the company’s statewide investment to more than $21 million.
“This is an exciting time for the City of Spring Hill. Broadband has been an issue for many years, and this is a city-wide solution that will benefit everyone in the community,” said Spring Hill Mayor, Joe Berkey. “A real broadband solution was one of the highest priorities on my list when I took office, and I tackled it head-on. Comcast investing in our community will have an immediate impact in fulfilling a need for our residents and will also provide long-term development benefits. We will do our best to keep open lines of communication throughout the construction process. This is a good day for Spring Hill and a great step forward toward our future.”
“Ensuring all Spring Hill residents have access to reliable, high-speed internet is a top priority for Comcast,” said Kalyn Hove, Regional Senior Vice President for Comcast. “As the world we live in becomes increasingly digital, we remain focused on not only bringing our broadband network to more Spring Hill homes and businesses, but also on future-proofing our network to meet the ever-increasing appetite for education, business, entertainment and more.”
