Comcast has spent nearly $30 billion in the last decade building an expansive fiber-dense network across the company’s service footprint. Comcast has invested $1.4 billion in technology and infrastructure in Illinois alone in the last three years. These investments have allowed Comcast to offer an array of telecommunications services, including an Internet service with download speeds up to 1.2 Gbps to all homes and businesses its network passes locally in its Kankakee County service footprint and nationally. The company also offers Gigabit Pro, a 3 Gbps fiber-based residential broadband service, in many locations.
