About

Comcast is deeply committed to Washington, where 4,000+ employees serve more than 1.6 million residential and business customers throughout our state footprint. Comcast is Washington’s leading provider of XFINITY video, high-speed Internet, “smart home” and phone services. Our Comcast Business team offers Ethernet, Internet, WiFi, Voice, TV and Managed Solutions to help businesses transform with technology.

INVESTMENT IN  TECH AND INFRASTRUCTURE

Since 2011, Comcast has invested $2.5 billion in Washington to build, enhance and maintain our systems, networks and infrastructure. As a result, we have been able to continuously increase the features, capacity, reliability and performance we offer our customers.

Comcast has invested billions of dollars in its network, locally and nationally, to meet consumer demand, and it has now increased speeds 18 times in the last 18 years, delivering speeds in most of Washington State from 15 Mbps up to 2 Gbps for residential customers and up to 10 Gbps for business customers.

IMPACTING THE WASHINGTON STATE COMMUNITY

While we are one of the state’s largest employers supporting 4500+ employees and communities both big and small, this company has quietly become one of the top corporate philanthropists in the state. 

In 2018, Comcast invested nearly $6 million in Washington state nonprofits, which includes program and event contributions, scholarships, foundation grants, employee giving campaigns, broadcast services, courtesy services, technology and equipment, and more. We also donated more than 23,000 volunteer hours across 60 different projects statewide. We supported a wide range of organizations in our state including:  The Asian Counseling and Referral Service (ACRS), Bunker Labs Seattle, Boys and Girls Clubs of Snohomish County, Chief Seattle Club, Compass Housing Alliance, El Centro de la Raza, the Seattle Pride Parade, Greater Seattle Business Association, Mary’s Place, Seattle City Club,Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle,  Seattle Goodwill, Technology Access Foundation (TAF), and more. 

Washington state is also among the top 10 states in the nation to utilize our affordable internet and technology access program, Comcast’s Internet Essentials. Approximately 260,000 Washingtonians are actively enrolled in the program.  Internet Essentials was designed for families with school-aged children in 2011 and we have expanded to meet more needs. It now serves residents of public housing and recipients of federal housing assistance. In 2018, we expanded eligibility to all low-income veterans who live in our service areas.

INNOVATION

Our Xfinity X1 entertainment platform — with AI-based voice remote capabilities and integrations with services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video — is changing the way our customers experience home entertainment. 

As the state’s leading provider of high-speed internet, customers also have access to the best home WiFi experience in the country, Xfinity xFi. This state-of-the-art WiFi technology offers advanced speed, coverage, and full customized control over your home WiFi network. 

We also offer nearly 1 million 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.
