High-speed Internet, TV, Wi-Fi, Home
Security/Automation and Voice Services Delivered to Leading
Properties Across 37 States in Unit's First Year
Comcast today announced that, since launching its Xfinity
Communities unit last year, more than one million residents of
multifamily housing properties (condos, apartments, etc.) across 37
states are using Xfinity services delivered by the Advanced
Communities Network (ACN).
Xfinity Communities, which sells, markets and maintains ACN to
deliver high-speed Internet, Xfinity X1, the industry’s fastest
Wi-Fi, home security and automation and phone services, cites
growing demand for high-speed technology services from both
prospective residents and building owners across the country as a
key driver for its early success.
This milestone comes on the heels of Comcast and Madison
Apartment Group announcing that the national leader in apartment
property management has signed up 25 of its properties as Xfinity
Communities. Madison Apartment Group joins other national
multifamily owner groups like WinnProperties that have chosen to
offer Xfinity services via ACN to their residents since the unit
was first created in 2014.
Benefits of Xfinity Communities’ ACN include:
- Better Network: Xfinity
Communities’ ACN is powered by fiber technology, which allows
building owners and property managers to offer the ultra-fast
Internet and Wi-Fi speeds their residents demand. With
fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) or fiber-to-the-unit (FTTU) solutions
that can scale to gigabit speeds with customized packages or a
DOCSIS-based deployment, residents of Xfinity Communities
properties can watch videos, play games, download music, share
photos and more using America's fastest Internet service.
- Better Entertainment: Xfinity X1
gives residents a one-of-a-kind interactive experience so they can
watch the latest TV shows, sports events and movies on multiple
TVs, smartphones and tablets via Xfinity On Demand. They can also
take their entertainment with them wherever they go with Xfinity TV
Everywhere programming on the Xfinity TV app.
- Better Service: As part of their
service agreement, many Xfinity Communities and their residents
have a dedicated Community Account Representative (CAR) for
technical support or sales questions. These support personnel act
as a concierge service for property management by helping to
coordinate installations, troubleshoot disruptions, process service
changes and assist with moving and property transfers, all while
ensuring that residents get the best possible experience from their
Xfinity services.
“The reality today is that residents take into consideration
whether properties have access to the latest Internet, Wi-Fi, TV,
home automation and voice technologies when deciding where to live.
As a result, many leading apartment owners and property managers
have looked to us to provide the cutting-edge services they need to
keep their residents happy and stay ahead of the competition,” said
Michael Slovin, vice president, Xfinity Communities. “We’ve made
tremendous strides since we first launched in 2014, and as we
continue to grow this business, our top priorities are to provide
an even better network, better entertainment options and better
customer experience so we form long-lasting relationships with the
property managers, building owners and residents we serve.”
