Comcast network expansion in Litchfield County has reached a significant milestone with the completion of infrastructure upgrades that now deliver reliable, high-speed, symmetrical internet service to nearly 22,000 homes and businesses across five Connecticut communities Litchfield, Morris, Thomaston, Torrington and Watertown.

The expansion brings Comcast's full suite of Xfinity residential and Comcast Business services to these areas, offering multi-gigabit broadband, mobile connectivity, streaming platforms, voice and advanced security solutions that support modern digital lifestyles and local economic activity.

What Residents and Businesses Can Access Now​

With the network upgrade complete, customers in Litchfield County now have access to:

• Xfinity High-Speed Internet: Multi-gigabit upload and download speeds with coverage that supports streaming, gaming, video conferencing and remote work with high reliability (up to 99.9 % uptime).
• Xfinity Mobile Services: Reliable wireless connectivity with access to 5G speeds and national coverage, plus potential savings on mobile plans.

These services position local homes and businesses to better compete in an increasingly digital economy, improving access for activities ranging from education and entertainment to commerce and remote operations.

Community Impacts and Digital Inclusion​

Comcast's investment in Litchfield County goes beyond connectivity. The company also partners with local nonprofits and digital inclusion programs to provide affordable broadband options and expand digital skills training. Programs like Internet Essentials offer low-cost broadband and devices to eligible households, while community Lift Zones provide free WiFi in public spaces to support learners, job seekers and those without reliable home internet.

These efforts aim to increase economic mobility and ensure more residents can benefit from expanded broadband access.

What This Means for Local Growth​

By extending its advanced network throughout Litchfield County, Comcast is helping enhance local infrastructure and offering competitive choices for internet and technology services. The improved connectivity supports everything from everyday streaming to business operations and community digital initiatives.

Carolyne Hannan, Senior Vice President of Comcast's New England Region, highlighted the company's commitment to helping communities thrive by bringing “fast, reliable Internet and mobile services” as essential tools for residents and businesses in the area.

Looking Ahead​

As broadband becomes ever more critical to work, education and social connectivity, infrastructure projects like this underscore the importance of robust networks in suburban and rural regions alike. With the Litchfield County expansion now live, residents and business owners can explore service options and join the growing number of customers connected to one of the country's largest converged networks.
