CHENEY, Wash. – Residents and businesses in Cheney, Washington, now have access to multi-gigabit, symmetrical internet service thanks to a recent expansion by Xfinity and Comcast Business. The rollout, announced Monday, aims to connect nearly 3,000 locations throughout the year, bringing faster speeds and more reliable connectivity to the region. This expansion is part of a broader investment by Comcast in Spokane County, signaling a commitment to bridging the digital divide and bolstering economic opportunities.
The project, undertaken in partnership with the City of Cheney, delivers internet, mobile, entertainment, and smart home services through Xfinity, and tailored technology solutions for businesses via Comcast Business. Residents can check service availability and construction timelines for their specific addresses by visiting Xfinity.com/mytown. The expansion builds on Comcast’s existing network, now reaching approximately 65 million homes and businesses nationwide, and aims to provide a modern infrastructure for the growing community.
Expanding Connectivity in Spokane County
Comcast’s investment extends beyond Cheney, with recent network expansions completed in Chattaroy, Four Lakes, and Medical Lake last month. These projects brought high-speed internet access to over 2,200 additional homes and businesses in underserved areas of Spokane County. The company’s commitment to the region is underscored by a more than $200,000 investment over the past three years in local nonprofits focused on digital skills training, and the establishment of 18 “Lift Zones” providing free, high-capacity WiFi access to students and families.
“Expanding Xfinity and Comcast Business in Spokane County is about more than faster Internet; it’s about strengthening connections that matter,” said Keith Turner, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Pacific Northwest Region. “By delivering multi-gigabit speeds, affordable wireless options through Xfinity Mobile, and a five-year price guarantee, we’re helping families, students, and local businesses thrive. As we grow, we’re committed to investing in Spokane’s future and partnering with the community to create opportunities for everyone.”
Services Offered to Cheney Residents and Businesses
Xfinity is offering a comprehensive suite of services to Cheney residents, including high-speed internet with speeds up to multi-gigabit, streaming entertainment options, mobile service, voice communication, and home security systems. Xfinity Mobile provides reliable 5G service and offers a promotion of one free line for a year with a qualifying Xfinity Internet plan. For businesses, Comcast Business delivers secure and scalable connectivity solutions, including SD-WAN, cloud connectivity, and unified communications, alongside mobile plans with 5G access and 23 million WiFi hotspots nationwide.
Comcast’s Internet Essentials program also aims to increase digital equity by providing eligible households with affordable, high-speed internet and access to computers. This initiative reflects the company’s broader commitment to community investment and economic mobility.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of the year, according to Comcast.
As Comcast continues to expand its network in Spokane County, the focus remains on providing reliable, high-speed internet access and fostering digital inclusion for all residents and businesses. The company’s ongoing investment in infrastructure and community programs signals a long-term commitment to the region’s economic and social well-being.
What remains to be seen is how quickly the rollout progresses and the extent to which these new services will impact local businesses and residents. Comcast’s continued investment and partnership with the City of Cheney will be key to realizing the full potential of this expanded network.
