Tech leader’s sizable investment brings four communities new
high-speed connectivity options
A new and powerful Internet network is now online in parts of
Citrus County, Florida, connecting communities to high-speed,
reliable Internet. Thousands of homes and businesses in the areas
of Inverness, Hernando, Floral City and Beverly Hills can now
access Xfinity and Comcast Business services. Comcast invested $8
million to make this technology infrastructure project
possible.
“We’re thankful to Comcast for its investment in our community,”
said Citrus County Administrator Steve Howard. “To stay true to our
vision statement ‘where nature and community thrive,’ it is crucial
for our residents and businesses to have access to services that
keep us connected to the future. Through this partnership with
Comcast, they will be able to do just that.”
The next-generation network gives Citrus County access to
reliable and fast Internet speeds that outperform competitors — up
to 1.2 gigabits per second (Gbps) for residential customers and up
to 100 Gbps for businesses.
“The City of Inverness supports the expansion of high-speed
broadband access by providers so that our residents can stay
connected with the social, educational, medical, commercial, and
recreational activities that rely on access to high-speed data
transmission,” said Frank Calascione, Assistant City Manager, City
of Inverness.
“This is an exciting day for people in these Citrus County
communities. They now have a new choice for their Internet service
provider and we’re ready to earn their business with our full suite
of Xfinity and Comcast Business services,” said Jeff Buzzelli,
Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Florida Region. “There’s reason
to celebrate. We’re bringing some of the best connectivity options
to the area, providing fast and reliable Internet to residents and
businesses.”

Internet Essentials has helped hundreds of thousands of Floridians
since its launch in 2011, including students, senior citizens,

Powered by Xfinity
Comcast’s network and Internet experience are powering Citrus
County homes today and into the future with:
- Ultimate Capacity: Xfinity customers connect more than 1
billion devices across the company’s network annually. With the
next-generation Xfinity gateways we deliver the most advanced WiFi
technology carrying three times more bandwidth to power streaming,
gaming, videoconferencing, and more, simultaneously.
- Fastest Internet: More than a third of Xfinity Internet
customers subscribe to gigabit speed products. Recently Comcast
connected the first customers in the world to a DOCSIS 4.0
connection, delivering symmetrical gig speeds over existing
connections in customers’ homes with plans to continue to rollout
these speeds across the country over the coming years.
- Unprecedented Coverage: The latest Xfinity Gateway
provides a more reliable connection throughout the home. Customers
can get wall-to-wall WiFi coverage with a powerful WiFi Boost Pod
that extends coverage to hard-to-reach areas of the home.
- Most Reliable Connection: Comcast is scaling the
nation’s largest and most reliable network that passes 62 million
homes and businesses and counting. The company launched Storm-Ready
WiFi, a new device that comes powered with cellular and battery
backup to help keep customers connected even when the power goes
out.
- Ultra-Low Latency: The Xfinity network and the latest
Xfinity Gateway are a powerful combination that deliver ultra-low
latency for those moments when response times matter most like
video games, a fast-growing category with Xfinity households
averaging more than one gaming console per home.
