LITTLE ROCK, AR (July 23, 2018) – Comcast Business has announced the completion of a $2 million fiber network expansion to Maumelle, a quickly growing suburb of Little Rock.

In addition, Comcast plans to deliver up to 1 Gigabit internet service to residential customers in Maumelle later this year.
