Comcast has begun connecting homes and businesses in Cheney, Washington, to its multi-gigabit fiber network, marking a significant broadband upgrade for the city. The project, in partnership with the City of Cheney, aims to provide high-speed internet access to nearly 3,000 addresses across the region, with the rollout expected to be completed by the end of 2026. This expansion follows similar efforts in three other Spokane County communities—Chattaroy, Four Lakes, and Medical Lake—where over 2,200 homes and businesses gained symmetrical high-speed internet service. Residents can track service availability and construction timelines through Comcast’s local lookup tool. As the project progresses, more addresses in Cheney are anticipated to receive access to the fiber network over the coming months. Comcast has framed the expansion as more than a speed upgrade, emphasizing its role in improving household affordability, supporting student access to digital tools, fostering business growth, and promoting long-term community investment in Spokane County. The rollout includes the full Xfinity residential service lineup, offering bundled internet, mobile, TV, voice, and home security solutions. Xfinity Internet is marketed with multi-gig speeds, 99.9% reliability, and in-home WiFi coverage designed to support modern household needs, such as work, school, streaming, and communication. Xfinity Mobile, also part of the rollout, provides up to 1 Gig of speed in supported conditions, with new customers signing up for qualifying internet plans receiving one line of service for a full year at no extra cost. The company is also promoting a five-year price guarantee to offer predictable monthly costs.#comcast #xfinity #city_of_cheney #spokane_county #internet_essentials
