Comcast Business Expands 10 Gigabit Fiber Network Across Metro Atlanta

ATLANTA — Comcast Business announced it is expanding its fiber network across metro Atlanta, passing hundreds of businesses throughout midtown Atlanta, Vinings, Norcross, Duluth and Alpharetta. These businesses can benefit from Comcast Business Ethernet Services, which are designed for businesses, schools, hospitals and other organizations that require a reliable, high-performance network to meet the demands of the 21st century. Comcast’s multi-million dollar infrastructure investment will support its broader regional efforts to expand local high-speed communications network services across metro Atlanta.

Comcast Business offers local Atlanta businesses four Ethernet services, including:

• Ethernet Private Line — point-to-point connectivity between two customer sites for bandwidth-intensive applications.


• Ethernet Virtual Private Line — a point-to-multipoint connection that allows customers to tailor bandwidth, performance characteristics and cost to meet the needs of their applications.


• Ethernet Network Service — multipoint-to-multipoint connectivity to connect organizations with high-bandwidth requirements and multiple locations across Comcast’s network.


• Ethernet Dedicated Internet — continuous, high-bandwidth connectivity between customers’ LANs and the public Internet.

“This investment reflects Comcast’s commitment to providing local businesses, many of which have somewhat limited choices in providers and technology, with the platform necessary to compete on a much broader level,” said Bob Deckard, vice president of Comcast Business in Atlanta. “Our effort will help the business community create more jobs and attract more clientele to the area, putting Atlanta firmly on the map as a premier technology hub.”

All of Comcast Business’s Ethernet services are delivered over an advanced network that spans 140,000 miles across 39 states and the District of Columbia. Serving 20 of the top 25 U.S. markets, Comcast’s network features a 100 Gbps backbone and expanded local footprint through Ethernet over HFC. Bandwidth is available up to 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) and can be scaled in increments and offered in three different classes of service, backed by strict service level agreements and monitored 24x7x365 from Comcast’s dedicated Network Operations Centers.
