Comcast Adds to Downtown Fiber Network
Comcast has built an additional mile-and-a-half of fiber to reach more than 200 downtown Chicago businesses in the Loop, South Loop and West Loop. This follows an extensive proactive fiber build in 2016 across the Loop and several adjacent neighborhoods.
With these latest buildouts complete, Comcast Business can provide access to Internet speeds of up to 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) for more businesses in the area, along with a wide range of services, including Ethernet, Internet, cloud solutions, business phone and TV services, as well as its SmartOffice video monitoring system. In addition, as a result of the network expansion, Comcast can bring new customers online quickly.
“Connectivity has taken on new importance during the current public health crisis, and this additional investment will help Chicago’s business community continue to provide services the city and its residents rely upon,” said Jack Lavin, CEO of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce.
