This expansion not only increases connectivity but also provides our residents and businesses with more choices for reliable digital access, ensuring they have the options they need to stay connected in today’s world.”

“As St. Mary’s County continues to grow and attract new businesses, we are proud to bolster our investment in the region and bring our state-of-the-art network to thousands more residents and small businesses,” said Ray Roundtree, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Beltway Region. “Our network delivers gig speeds, world-class reliability, and the best WiFi experience in-and-out of the home, and we’re excited to help more Xfinity and Comcast Business customers thrive in St. Mary’s County.”
