Comcast is expanding its network of services to include areas of Exeter and Amity townships and St. Lawrence in Berks County and Honey Brook Borough in Chester County.

In Exeter and St. Lawrence, Comcast said it will make its full suite of Xfinity and Comcast Business services available to 8,300 additional residents.

Comcast has franchise agreements in the municipalities and currently serves customers in Exeter Township, although the company could not say how many. The company said it is always looking for additional areas to provide services where there is a clear customer demand.

“Having more choice for reliable, fast Internet connections is important to all our residents, and we look forward to more of them having access to the Comcast network,” St. Lawrence Mayor Barrie Kinsey said in a statement.

Beginning this fall, prospective customers can call 1-800-XFINITY to inquire about service, or ask about the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides eligible households with up to $30 a month toward their Internet and mobile service.
