Over the last three years, Comcast has invested $3 billion in Washington, including capital expenditures, employee wages and benefits, taxes and fees, and charitable giving. This investment includes $997 million to build, enhance and maintain our systems, networks, and infrastructure across the state.
To support the digital economy, the company has invested billions of dollars in our network, locally and nationally, to meet consumer demand. This work includes increasing speeds 20 times in the last 19 years, delivering speeds in most of Washington State between 50 Mbps and 2 Gbps for residential customers and up to 10 Gbps for business customers.
We also offer tens of thousands of public Wi-Fi hotspots and more than 33,000 miles of fiber and coaxial cable lines built deep into the state’s urban and rural neighborhoods. Comcast currently serves more than 200 communities across the state and we continue to grow our footprint each year.
While we are one of the state’s largest employers supporting communities both big and small, this company has quietly become one of the top corporate philanthropists in the state.
Since 2018 we have invested $12.5 million in cash and in-kind contributions to help drive equitable access to internet and technology resources for communities that need it most. You can learn more about this work by visiting our WA State Community Investment page.
