Comcast Builds All-New Fiber Internet Network in Westlake, Florida

A new and powerful fiber Internet network is being built across Westlake, Florida. Once finished, more than 1,200 homes and businesses will have access to reliable and ultra-fast Internet, mobile, streaming, and other services with Xfinity and Comcast Business. The construction is being completed in phases and will continue through 2026. 

Comcast is already making significant progress on the network build. Construction is finished in The Pines, The Terraces 1 & 2 and Woodlands communities, enabling more than 850 homes access to the company’s next-generation network. Crews plan to expand the network in The Hammocks and The Terraces 3 neighborhoods. The goal is to expand the fiber network to reach even more homes as new developments are built in the city.

“As Palm Beach County grows, Comcast is committed to bringing ultra-fast connectivity to every corner of this community. That’s why we’re actively constructing a fiber network in Westlake to support the city's future. We're building the Internet of tomorrow,” said Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Florida Region, Jeff Buzzelli. “We’re excited to invest in Westlake, so we can bring businesses and families our best-in-class products and services. Whether it’s on the go with Xfinity Mobile or in the office with customized Comcast Business solutions, we’re ready to earn Westlake's business and keep entrepreneurs?and families connected to the moments that matter most.” 

This new, next-generation network will give Westlake access to faster Internet speeds that outperform competitors — up to 1 gigabits per second (Gbps) for residential customers and up to 100 Gbps for businesses. With this fiber-to-the-home technology, customers can access symmetrical speeds which means faster uploads than ever before.

Comcast’s residential services are marketed under the Xfinity brand, and consumers in Westlake will be able to take advantage of Xfinity’s full suite of products, including Internet, video, mobile, voice and home security.
