Investing in Michigan 

2024 has been a transformative year for Comcast, as we continue strengthening communities through cutting-edge fiber technology. This year, our expanded network brought fast, reliable Internet to more homes and businesses in Michigan than ever before, helping to connect people and power economic growth. 

Connecting Communities with Purpose 

Working closely with local governments and employing more than 2,600 area workers and hundreds of local contractors, we expanded our network to provide 99.9% reliable high-speed Internet to new homes and businesses across our footprint. From enabling seamless online learning and telehealth services to supporting small businesses and remote work, our efforts fuel economic growth and digital inclusion. 

“We’re proud to be a partner in Michigan’s digital equity journey and to continue to work with policymakers and community leaders to close the digital divide,” explained D’Agostini.

Innovating for Extraordinary Experiences 

From launching the NOW services, which offer affordable pre-paid, no-contract service lines, to introducing WiFi Boost for our mobile customers, we prioritized accessible, customizable services. Milestones like the Olympic Games Paris 2024 brought moments of unity and joy, showcasing our commitment to creating engaging customer experiences. 

• Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile continue to offer some of the lowest prices with the broadest coverage around the state. 

• We launched Xfinity StreamSaver, a streaming bundle of Peacock, Netflix, and Apple TV+ that delivers savings of 30% a year. 

• Locally, we celebrated the Olympic Games Paris 2024 with Boys & Girls Club members. Click here to learn more about our gold medal event!

From home entrepreneurs to enterprise-wide support, Comcast Business offers a suite of connectivity solutions to help organizations of all sizes achieve their goals. With cutting-edge cybersecurity, 99.9% network reliability, and initiatives extending beyond connectivity, Comcast Business supports businesses in communities across Michigan.  

“From advanced WiFi to protection from cyber threats, Comcast Business services provide flexible and reliable advanced connectivity solutions to ensure that Michigan businesses are productive and protected,” said Sonya Callahan, Vice President of Comcast Business, Heartland Region. “Our goal is to empower businesses to think more about what’s next and less about managing vendors and high costs for connectivity. With Comcast Business and Comcast Business Mobile, reliable connectivity goes wherever business takes them.” 

Comcast Business also supports the communities in which we live and serve. In 2024, Comcast Business: 

• Partnered with 10+ small businesses in Michigan to sponsor Comcast-hosted events for the community to enjoy. 

• Hosted 82+ chamber of commerce events for Michigan business owners to network and learn about best practices, including cybersecurity and mentorship. 

• Supported local communities with more than $450,000 in donations and event sponsorships. 

Bridging the Digital Divide 

Investing in Michiganders is more than network advancement; it is about moving the needle on digital inclusion through Project UP, our $1 billion commitment to advance digital equity. 

• Operated 67 Lift Zones across the state, offering free, secure WiFi hotspots at nearby community centers. To find a Lift Zone near you, click here. 

• Supported community organizations with more than $832,000 in grants to support digital skills training programs.

“We’re proud to be a partner in Michigan’s digital equity journey and to continue our work with community partners to provide resources and technology in a way that benefits everyone,” said Jambor.

Also giving back to our communities, Team UP, the company’s always-on volunteer program, includes employees from across Michigan sharing experiences and serving non-profits and community organizations. Read more about our 2024 Team UP projects in Grand Rapids and Flint.
