Comcast & City of San Bruno Announce Agreement for Comcast to Acquire CityNet Services

Residents and Businesses of San Bruno Will Have Access to the Largest Converged Network in America, delivering Multi-Gig Symmetrical Speeds, Superior WiFi, and Unmatched Reliability and Security When Upgrades are Completed

Comcast Corporation and the City of San Bruno announced they have completed an agreement for Comcast to acquire  – a municipally-owned and operated broadband, video and voice network which currently serves over 5,400 residents and businesses in San Bruno, CA. The prospective acquisition of CityNet Services will greatly accelerate investment in, and improvements to, the City’s existing infrastructure, ultimately bringing symmetrical speeds, unrivaled reliability and security, and the latest products and services from Xfinity and Comcast Business to the community.

“We welcome Comcast to our community,” said Mayor Rico E. Medina of San Bruno. “CityNet serves our community well, but the evolving demands of maintaining and upgrading our network have highlighted the need for a partner with the resources and expertise that Comcast brings. This transition will ensure that our residents and businesses continue to have access to top-tier broadband services today and well into the future.”

“We’re grateful for the chance to serve the San Bruno community and to bring our state-of-the art network and technology to advance the city’s high-speed broadband services,” said David Tashjian, Regional Senior Vice President, Comcast California. “Comcast’s multi-million-dollar investment and ongoing innovation will bring fast, multi-gigabit symmetrical speeds and superior reliability and security to all residents and businesses, further enhancing the city’s technology capabilities, promoting growth and economic development, and ensuring that residents and businesses have what they need to thrive in the digital age.”

Comcast has invested nearly $4 billion in technology and infrastructure in the past three years in California alone, and more than $20 billion nationwide in the past five years.

A Network You Can Trust to be Reliable, Fast and Secure

Comcast’s state-of-the-art network is built to enable residents and businesses to thrive in today’s constantly connected world. San Bruno will join the 64 million homes and businesses across the country that have access to a network that is trusted by essential community organizations like hospitals, schools, transportation systems and first responders, and federal agencies like the Department of Defense and FEMA. It delivers multi-gigabit Internet speeds, unrivaled reliability, and security built in from the ground up to keep customers safe from cyber threats.

What it means for the San Bruno Community

Comcast’s commitment to communities goes beyond investing in the network and aims to increase economic mobility for the local community and its residents.
