[{"type":"text","content":"Company will Make Fiber-Rich Network Available to\nMore Than 400 Additional Homes & Businesses in Silverdale\n--News Direct--Comcast today announced it has begun construction to expand its smart, fast and reliable fiber-rich network to more than 450 additional homes and businesses in Silverdale. The majority of homes are expected to be serviced by early next year. The network expansion will offer Xfinity Internet services with residential broadband speeds faster than 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) and Comcast Business Internet speeds up to 100 Gbps. Residential customers will be able to take advantage of Xfinity’s full suite of internet products, including the company’s Internet Essentials program that provides low-cost, high-speed broadband for income-constrained households. Since its inception in 2011, the program has connected nearly 10,000 Kitsap County residents, many for the first time. Comcast also participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides qualifying households with a $30 monthly credit toward internet and mobile services. “I am so excited at the opportunity to make the switch to Xfinity. It was a great decision to have Silverdale be included in Comcast's expansion project. Whether it's faster and more reliable internet access to be able to work from home, or to better connect with friends and family over video calls, this improvement will make a huge difference in our daily lives,” said Silverdale resident Cheryl Christian. “We can’t wait to bring out powerful fiber-rich network to more homes and businesses in Silverdale. We’ve been working hard to expand on the Kitsap Peninsula and are proud to be part of the community, providing our services, working with local community organizations, and connecting as many people as we can in the area,” said Juan Key, senior director, Business Development, Comcast Pacific Northwest Region. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, affordable, reliable broadband internet service is fundamental to modern American life.

High-speed internet service stimulates job creation and sparks innovation that enhances rural economic development. Comcast’s network ex...
