MEMPHIS, Tenn. – October 21, 2016 – Comcast Business today announced it has completed a multi-million dollar fiber optic network across greater Memphis, capable of delivering up to 10-gigabit speeds to local businesses. The fiber-based Ethernet service will provide businesses, schools, hospitals and government organizations with highly scalable and ultra-fast Internet connectivity and cloud-based voice solutions.

“Memphis’ strength has always been accessibility and its great infrastructure of rivers, roads, rails and runways,” said Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland.  “I applaud Comcast for its investment in our city to significantly improve the digital infrastructure that will help our communities thrive.”

“Today’s announcement from Comcast is great news for our business community, and we couldn’t be more excited about what it means for our city,” said Phil Trenary, President and CEO, Greater Memphis Chamber. “Multi-gig speeds are becoming increasingly crucial for businesses, which is why this announcement is so important.”

“Comcast Business is now able to offer the fastest speeds to the most businesses in Memphis,” said Larry Williamson, Area Vice President for Comcast. “We believe this investment will not only support Memphis’ existing business community, but attract new industries seeking the most advanced technology solutions.”
