Designed for up to 100 Gbps of network capacity, the fiber-optic Ethernet network expansion is intended to support Ethernet, Internet and voice solutions for more businesses and organizations. The Ethernet extensions are both aerial and underground.

"As demand for our high-performance Ethernet offerings continues to soar, we're proud to bring our advanced network deeper into Manassas to help the economic growth of the city and region," said Mary McLaughlin, regional senior vice president for Comcast. "We've invested heavily in building an infrastructure that meets the high-speed, high-capacity needs of business, technology, healthcare and education customers in Manassas, and we look forward to continuing to launch new and innovative services that exceed their expectations well into the future."
