PALM BEACH, Fla. , Oct. 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Comcast announced today it opened more than 261,000
Xfinity WiFi Hotspots in areas the company serves across
Florida. To help residents and
emergency personnel stay connected ahead of Hurricane Milton's
landfall, the free and public hotspots are now open for anyone to
use.
"With this second storm impacting Florida so soon, we want to do all we can to
help those affected by Milton stay
connected. Whether it is video calling loved ones or receiving the
latest safety information, being able to get online is critical,"
said Jeff Buzzelli, Senior Vice
President for Comcast's Florida Region. "We hope opening these
hotspots across the state will give Floridians one more tool to
support them."
In preparation for Hurricane Milton's potential impact on
Florida, Comcast is actively
positioning crews and equipment to respond immediately in the event
of network damage. For updates on Comcast's response to
