Comcast’s Florida region says they have added service availability to more than 120,000 homes and businesses across the state in 2025, calling the expansion a “record-breaking year” for network growth.
The company said the additions span urban and rural communities from Lehigh Acres in Southwest Florida to Havana in the Panhandle, and listed more than a dozen specific communities, including Arcadia, Cape Coral, Coral Springs, Homestead, Jacksonville, Miami, Naples, Port St. Lucie, St. Augustine, Punta Gorda and The Villages.
On their website, Comcast Florida singled out Lehigh Acres and Charlotte County as two of the largest expansion areas, saying more than 15,500 and 16,400 addresses there, respectively, are now “serviceable.”
Mike Fisher, vice president of engineering for Comcast’s Florida region, was quoted as calling the effort a source of pride for employees and saying the new connections will allow families and businesses to “stream, learn and connect” and help local entrepreneurs compete in the digital economy.
Where is Comcast Florida expanding to in 2026?
Comcast Florida also said it will continue expansion into 2026 and beyond, naming 13 counties where rural expansion is planned: Bay, Glades, Hamilton, Hardee, Hendry, Indian River, Lake, Nassau, Polk, Putnam, Sarasota, Union and Wakulla.
The announcement reiterated Comcast’s consumer and business product lines, Xfinity residential services and Comcast Business offerings, and promoted the company’s longstanding Internet Essentials program, which the release said has provided low-cost internet, digital training and subsidized computers to “hundreds of thousands” of Floridians since 2011.
A statement from Mark Wilson, president and CEO of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, praised the investment as beneficial to the state’s economy and essential for telehealth, remote work and education.
The company framed the expansion as extending its nationwide network, now available to almost 65 million U.S. homes and businesses, while emphasizing work by technicians installing overhead network equipment and readying service trucks for deployment across Florida.
