CRANBERRY TWP — Supervisors approved entering a franchise agreement Thursday, June 1, with Comcast, allowing it to offer residential services throughout the township.

According to Josephine Posti, Comcast’s director of public relations, the agreement will allow the company to expand its Xfinity 10G Network to more than 8,000 homes in the township.

“Comcast Business has served customers in this area since 2020 and will start providing its full suite of Xfinity services to its first new customers this summer,” Posti said.

At last week’s agenda planning meeting, township manager Dan Santoro said that adding a competing service provider in the municipality was a “good thing.”

“It’s something that we hear a lot of in the township: ‘Why aren’t there some alternatives?’” Santoro had said. “So, this will accomplish that in terms of service providers in the township.”
