Comcast Announces Network Upgrades and Community Investment in Middlesex County

Comcast announced significant upgrades to its network infrastructure in Middlesex County and Northern New Jersey, delivering next-generation Internet speeds, with download speeds up to 2.1 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) and upload speeds up to 300 megabits-per-second (Mbps), to homes and businesses.

The announcement was made during an event at the Woodbridge Xfinity Store, where Comcast also presented a $10,000 donation to the Woodbridge Community Charity Fund, supporting the purchase of warm winter coats for local school children. Comcast employees presented new coats to Woodbridge Township Mayor John E. McCormac and local students, reinforcing the company’s dedication to supporting the communities it serves.

The event featured remarks from Mayor McCormac and Comcast Regional Senior Vice President Dan Bonelli, highlighting Comcast’s long-term commitment to connectivity and community support.

“At Comcast, we believe that connectivity and community go hand in hand,” said Bonelli. “We’re excited about what our investments mean for Middlesex County – as a service provider and as a partner in the community. We look forward to continuing to invest in this incredible community.”

The enhanced speeds are available through existing connections in most homes and businesses across North Jersey, including Middlesex County, putting the region ahead in terms of the company’s national deployment progress.

Over the past three years, Comcast has invested more than $900 million in technology innovations and fiber infrastructure in New Jersey alone, maintaining over 48,000 miles of fiber-rich network infrastructure that powers hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses, along with tens of thousands of WiFi hotspots.

Smart, Reliable and AI-Powered

In addition to faster speeds, Comcast’s investment enhances the network with AI-driven features including:

Ultra-low lag technology for improved streaming and gaming.

Self-healing automation that identifies damage to fiber lines and reroutes data traffic to prevent service disruptions.

WiFi PowerBoost, delivering up to gig speeds to Xfinity Mobile customers at home and on the go when connected to millions of hotspots nationwide.
