Nearly 3,000 homes and businesses in Cheney will get access to symmetrical multi-gigabit internet this year as Comcast completes its latest Spokane County buildout, adding to an already-connected stretch of underserved communities and bringing a price commitment that most ISPs still will not offer.
Comcast Xfinity internet reached Cheney, Washington, on March 16, 2026, with the first homes and businesses now connected and the full rollout of nearly 3,000 addresses expected to be completed before the end of the year. The expansion was built in partnership with the City of Cheney and adds to a run of recent investments across Spokane County that have quietly made the region one of the most connected stretches of eastern Washington.
Keith Turner, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Pacific Northwest Region, framed the Cheney expansion in terms that go beyond infrastructure. “By delivering multi-gigabit speeds, affordable wireless options through Xfinity Mobile, and a five-year price guarantee, we’re helping families, students, and local businesses thrive,” he said. “As we grow, we’re committed to investing in Spokane’s future and partnering with the community to create opportunities for everyone.”
That five-year price guarantee is the detail most local residents will want to pay attention to. Comcast is locking in pricing for qualifying plans for five years, a commitment that is increasingly rare in an industry where promotional rates frequently reset after twelve to twenty-four months.
What Cheney Residents Are Getting
The package Comcast is bringing to Cheney is its full residential Xfinity stack. That means multi-gigabit symmetrical internet, which delivers the same upload speeds as download speeds, an important distinction for remote workers, small business owners, and anyone running video calls or uploading large files regularly. The network promises 99.9% reliability and whole-home WiFi coverage.
Xfinity Mobile arrives alongside the internet service, giving Cheney residents the option of adding mobile lines to their internet account. Comcast is currently offering one free line for a full year to new customers who sign up for a qualifying internet plan, with speeds up to one gigabit on the mobile side. Xfinity TV, Xfinity Home security, and smart home automation round out the residential offer.
On the business side, Comcast Business is bringing its full enterprise connectivity suite to Cheney as well, including SD-WAN, cloud connectivity, unified communications, and access to more than 23 million WiFi hotspots nationwide through Comcast Business Mobile. For small businesses in a city like Cheney that historically had limited high-speed options, the arrival of enterprise-grade symmetrical connectivity at competitive pricing is a meaningful shift.
Cheney joins the nearly 65 million homes and businesses nationwide that now have access to Comcast’s converged network.
Cheney Is Part of a Larger Spokane County Story
The Cheney announcement does not stand alone. Just last month, Comcast completed the expansion of its network in three underserved areas of Spokane County: Chattaroy, Four Lakes, and Medical Lake. That project connected more than 2,200 homes and businesses. Taken together, the two phases represent a significant infrastructure investment in a county where reliable high-speed internet has historically been concentrated in Spokane proper rather than spread across surrounding communities.
Comcast’s commitment to Spokane County goes beyond laying cable. The company has invested more than $200,000 over the last three years into local nonprofits focused on helping residents build digital skills. It has also opened 18 Lift Zones across the county, physical locations where students and families can access free high-capacity WiFi. The Internet Essentials program, which offers eligible low-income households subsidized internet access and affordable computers, is available in Cheney as part of the expansion.
The broader context is that Comcast has been on a notable expansion run. On March 11, the company announced plans to bring Comcast Business to the Quad Cities in Iowa, marking its first infrastructure investment in that state and expanding its national footprint to 40 states. Two days after the Cheney announcement, on March 17, the company separately announced a partnership with NVIDIA to deploy AI processing using NVIDIA GPUs at the edge of Comcast’s network, testing AI workloads in regional facilities closer to where customers live and work. The Cheney expansion fits into a company that is simultaneously building infrastructure outward and building intelligence inward.
