Xfinity and Comcast Business Services Available to More Residents and Businesses Across Maryland’s Eastern Shore – Including in Grasonville, Kent Island, Kent Narrows and Queenstown

Comcast is continuing to expand its state-of-the-art network across Maryland’s Eastern Shore and today announced it connected the first Kent Island, MD residents to Xfinity and Comcast Business services. This is part of an expansion project connecting more than 9,000 homes and businesses on Kent Island and nearby communities such as Grasonville, Kent Narrows and Queenstown. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.

“We are thrilled to be one of the first Comcast Business customers in the area and their team of local experts made it seamless to get installed with fast, reliable and secure Internet,” said Tracy Stewart, Practice Manager at Queenstown Veterinary Hospital. “So much of the modern veterinary experience relies on the digital transfer of medical records and real-time information sharing. Our connectivity solutions from Comcast Business ensure we have a strong technology foundation to drive these capabilities.”

Residents and businesses can visit Xfinity.com/MyTown and enter their addresses for additional details on construction timing and upcoming service availability.

This project is part of Comcast’s ongoing expansion in Maryland, where the company has invested more than $931.8 million in technology and infrastructure over the last three years – including upgrades to its local network.

“We have a deep history of connecting communities across Maryland’s Eastern Shore to the power of broadband, and we’re proud to bring our fast, reliable and secure network to more than 9,000 homes and businesses on Kent Island and the surrounding areas,” said Ray Roundtree, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Beltway Region. “Our network delivers a world-class experience within and outside the home, and our dedicated team of local experts are excited to help people connect to what matters most.”
