Summary
More than 3,300 homes and businesses in Columbia County, Florida, can now get Xfinity and Comcast Business high-speed internet under a public-private broadband expansion.
The build covers communities including Ellisville, Fort White, Mikesville, Springville, Suwannee Valley and Winfield, aimed at bringing more rural residents and companies online.
Another 2,000-plus locations in the county are still under construction, with Comcast expecting that phase to finish by the end of 2026.
Columbia County joins a Comcast footprint that the company says now reaches more than 65 million homes and businesses nationwide, as it also expands in eight other Florida counties.
