The milestone

Comcast announced it has passed the halfway point of its newest Jackson County construction project — the one extending its high-speed network into corners of the county that never had Xfinity or Comcast Business service before. With Concord, Horton, Leslie, Onondaga, and Rives Junction nearing completion and crews active in five more communities, the company says momentum is strong and new addresses keep coming online as construction progresses. (FACT: Comcast/Business Wire, Sept. 2, 2026.)

For households in the buildout footprint, this is the first time a second wired option — or in some pockets, any modern wired option — has existed. (FACT: the “for the first time” framing is the company’s.)

Where things stand, town by town

Nearing the finish line: Concord, Horton, Leslie, Onondaga, Rives Junction. If you live in one of these areas and haven’t checked lately, check again — “nearing full buildout” means addresses are flipping live now. (FACT: project status; the advice is commentary.)

Under active construction: Hanover, Jackson, Munith, Parma, Pleasant Lake. Expect to see the trucks and the torn-up easements a while longer. (FACT: project status.)

Everywhere in the footprint: availability is rolling, not a single switch-on day. The company’s address checker is the source of truth for your specific house. (FACT: Xfinity.com/mytown per the announcement.)

Why it matters for Jackson County

(COMMENTARY: Perspective, not a news report.)

Rural broadband has been Jackson County’s quiet economic bottleneck for years. Kids doing homework on phone hotspots, home businesses uploading over connections that wheeze, whole townships where “high-speed” was a rumor. Every address this project lights up is a household that can work remotely, a student who can stream a lecture, a small business that can actually run cloud tools.

Competition matters too. Wherever a second provider shows up, prices and service get honest in a hurry. Whether you switch or stay, having the option is the win.

Spring 2027 is the finish line. Until then: check your address, and if you’re in a “nearing completion” town, check it monthly.
