Comcast’s most recent expansion in Cass County is part of the company’s latest investment in southwest Michigan, following its recent network expansion in Berrien County. Overall, Comcast has invested more than $80 billion in the last ten years to grow and evolve its expansive fiber-rich network across the company’s service footprint nationwide, including more than $880 million the company has invested in its network in Michigan over the last three years.
Comcast’s more than 2,300 miles of fiber-rich network infrastructure across southwest Michigan 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 65,000 WiFi hotspots in southwest Michigan and more than 23 million nationwide.

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 Cass County footprint can take advantage of Xfinity’s and NOW’s full suite of products, including Internet, video, mobile, voice and home security. With multi-gigabit Internet speeds, powerful WiFi that reaches every corner of the home, and super-responsive connections with low lag available with its plan, customers have a great experience using their connected devices to stream their favorite sports and entertainment content, video chat with coworkers and friends, learn from home or simply surf the web.
What it Means for Cass County 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 1.26 million Michigan residents connect to the Internet at home since it launched in 2011.
