Comcast has unveiled plans to significantly expand its next-generation Xfinity network across Utah over the next three years. The media and technology company has pledged more than $138 million to install hundreds of miles of fiber highways, capable of delivering multi-gigabit speeds. The new investment builds on Comcast’s ongoing $500 million investment in Utah.
This year, Comcast’s fiber network expansion will reach communities in Box Elder, Davis, Salt Lake, Summit, Tooele, Utah, Wasatch, Weber, and parts of Utah County, many of which already have access to Xfinity and Comcast Business services. The foundational next-generation network sets the stage for the launch of DOCSIS 4.0 and introduces symmetrical multi-gigabit internet options.
“Comcast’s $138 million multi-gig speed fiber network expansion in Utah is a visionary investment in our state’s future,” said Gov. Spencer Cox. “By bolstering our fiber infrastructure, we’re not just enhancing connectivity; we’re future-proofing Utah’s economy and ensuring more Utahns have access to the digital opportunities of tomorrow.”
Beyond infrastructure, Comcast addresses digital opportunities through Project UP, a $1 billion commitment to help millions of people access the Internet. In 2023, Comcast Utah invested more than $4.6 million to support local community organizations with digital skills training; workforce development; and tech education initiatives for students, adults and people with disabilities.
“Reliable high-speed Internet is essential in today’s digital economy, which is why Comcast continues its commitment to connect more Utahns to the moments that matter most,” said J.D. Keller, senior vice president of Comcast's Mountain West Region.
