Comcast Completes Fiber Optic Project in Downtown New Haven

NEW HAVEN, CT — Comcast announced that it has completed its nearly $1.7 million fiber optic network in downtown. More than seven businesses now have speeds of up to 10 Gigabits-per-second.

“New Haven is a unique city in Connecticut – located on Long Island Sound, not far from New York and home to one of the oldest, most prestigious schools in the country – making it the ideal location for small and medium-sized organizations to large enterprises to operate,” said Mayor Toni Harp, City of New Haven. “Comcast’s investment strengthens our local economy by offering businesses the technology infrastructure needed to better service customers and the community.”

The new expansion impacts Church, Orange, Audubon, Elm, State, and Temple streets as well as on Tower Lane.

“Speed of communication is a top priority for business and Comcast is hitting it head on,” said Tony Rescigno, President of the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce. “Their efforts are helping to solve key concerns of business which will, in turn, help build our State’s economy.”
