Redmond residents have and will see Comcast trucks bearing the Xfinity brand throughout their neighborhoods. Internet in homes will get faster and services become even more reliable as Comcast crews engage in major construction projects in several different neighborhoods throughout 2017, Comcast officials said this week.

“Comcast is very aware that communications services are vital in the lives of our customers. We’re always adding capacity to increase what we can offer consumers, and we’re glad to do it to help our customers. People in Redmond clearly want to be connected to the best in entertainment and telecommunications,” said Chris May, vice president of engineering and technology for Comcast in Washington.

Comcast currently has 58 projects underway or planned in Redmond on lines and ground equipment on streets, large buildings or entire neighborhoods to add or improve the infrastructure that allows the company to offer High-Speed Internet, video, digital voice, and smarthome services. The value of the improvements is more than $1 million.

In 2016, Comcast completed 123 projects in Redmond worth more than $2.8 million. Together with other technology and network deployments since 2010, Comcast has invested $1 billion in Washington State to upgrade our reliability and capacity, deploy new gigabit services and reach new residential and business customers.

This is a list of examples of the neighborhoods where Comcast is adding capacity and doing other kinds of infrastructure improvements:

The following is a partial list of areas where work has or will be done in the first half of 2017:

• 13300 block of 157th Avenue Northeast, block of Lake Washington Boulevard

• 2600 block of West Lake Sammamish Parkway

• 6000 block of East Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast

• 15000 top 18000 blocks of Redmond Way

• 18700 block of Northeast 133rd Street

• 8700 block of 160th Avenue Northeast

• 16500 block of Bel-Red Road

• 176th Place Northeast

• Northeast 80th Street

• 12000 block of 179th Avenue Northeast

The patterns of activity are typical at Comcast, where tools allow the company to monitor signal strength and address any issues and build capacity proactively, May said.
