Press Release

JACKSON, MS – Comcast announced that more than 800 underserved homes and businesses in Pelahatchie, Mississippi, now have access to the Xfinity 10G Network, bringing an internet connection to those that may not have had one in the past.

“Today’s announcement underscores our commitment to bridging the digital divide in fast-growing Rankin County,” said Comcast Regional SVP Jason Gumbs. “Broadband access is critical in today’s digital world, not only for economic development but to ensure Pelahatchie’s workforce is ready for the future.”

Local businesses in Pelahatchie now have access to a full suite of Comcast business internet, voice, and video services, and residential customers can enjoy Xfinity services. This expansion also provides families access to Comcast’s Internet Essentials program, the nation’s largest broadband adoption initiative for low-income families. Internet Essentials provides low-cost broadband service for $9.95 a month, digital literacy training, and discounted computers. This, along with the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), gives income-constrained families support on their internet and mobile data plans.
