Comcast Making Important Investments In Its Network, Bringing More Value to Its Customers

You will see some increased construction as the company boosts video and internet capacity

In Covington, Maple Valley and Black Diamond areas

Internet in homes will get faster and services become even more reliable as Comcast crews engage in major construction projects in several different neighborhoods throughout 2017, Comcast officials said this week.

“Comcast is very aware that communications services are vital in the lives of our customers. We’re always adding capacity to increase what we can offer consumers, and we’re glad to do it to help our customers. People in this area clearly want to be connected to the best in entertainment and telecommunications,” said Chris May, Vice President of Engineering and Technology for Comcast in Washington.

Comcast currently has 15 projects under way or planned in the Covington, Maple Valley and Black Diamond area on lines and ground equipment on streets, large buildings or entire neighborhoods to add or improve the infrastructure that allows the company to offer High-Speed Internet, video, digital voice, and smarthome services. The value of the improvements is more than $ 1 million.

In 2016, Comcast completed 54 projects in the Covington, Maple Valley and Black Diamond area worth more than $715,000. Together with other technology and network deployments since 2010, Comcast has invested $1 billion in Washington State to upgrade our reliability and capacity, deploy new gigabit services and reach new residential and business customers

This is a list of examples of the neighborhoods where Comcast is adding capacity and doing other kinds of infrastructure improvements:

The following is a partial list of areas where work has or will be done in the first half of 2017:

• 22300 block of SE 290^thSt., Black Diamond
• 1600 area of SE 272^ndSt., Covington
• 25400 block of 176^thAve. SW, Covington
• 18000 area of SE 272^ndSt., Covington

• 23900 block of SE Kent Kangley Road, Maple Valley
• 22000 area of SE 265^thPlace, Maple Valley

The patterns of activity are typical at Comcast, where tools allow the company to monitor signal strength and address any issues and build capacity proactively, May said.
