Comcast Reaches Major Milestone in Greater Phillipsburg Expansion
1. Significant Network Expansion Underway
On July 7, 2026, Comcast Corporation announced a pivotal construction milestone in its ongoing network expansion across the Greater Phillipsburg area of New Jersey. The project has now surpassed the halfway mark, aiming to extend high-speed Internet services to over 15,700 additional homes and businesses for the first time. This initiative emphasizes Comcast's commitment to enhancing digital infrastructure and promoting economic growth in the region.
2. Construction Progress in Warren County
The momentum for this expansion remains robust across Warren County, with notable progress in key municipalities including Greenwich, Lopatcong, and Alpha. Specifically, construction efforts in Phillipsburg have reached the halfway point, while activities in Pohatcong are intensifying. As construction proceeds, more residents and businesses are gaining access to a suite of services from Xfinity and Comcast Business, ultimately positioning them for success in an increasingly digital-centric world.
Residents interested in service availability can visit Xfinity.com/mytown to check their addresses or visit the local Xfinity Store in Port Murray for more information on products and services. The full project is expected to be completed by the end of the year, with new addresses becoming serviceable on a rolling basis.
3. Investment in New Jersey
This network expansion is part of Comcast's broader investment in New Jersey, where the company has connected an additional 43,000 homes and businesses to Xfinity and Comcast Business services over the past year alone. Dan Bonelli, Regional Senior Vice President at Comcast, stated, “Reaching this milestone in Greater Phillipsburg reflects the steady progress we’re making to connect more New Jersey communities to the technology they need to live, work and grow.” He emphasized that as more homes and businesses come online, Comcast is not merely expanding its network but also investing in the infrastructure necessary for future innovation and economic momentum.
