Comcast has added more than one million Comcast Digital Voice customers in less than two years. This milestone underscores the record growth Comcast continues to experience across all cable products as it aggressively rolls out its $33 per product first-year bundle of phone, high-speed and video services. Comcast also recently became the first broadband provider to cross the 10 million high-speed Internet customer threshold, following several high-growth quarters and the close of the Adelphia transaction, and is the nation's largest video provider with 23.3 million cable customers.
To keep pace with the growing popularity and increasing demand of the Triple Play, Comcast also announced that it now expects to add more than 4,000 jobs nationwide this year, a significant increase from its previously announced plans of 3,000 new customer-facing positions.
"Comcast Digital Voice and the Triple Play bundle continue to exceed our expectations. Customers are attracted to the convenience of the service and the value of the $33x3 offer," said Steve Burke, chief operating officer of Comcast Corporation. "We're increasing our job growth projections this year to meet the accelerating customer demand for the bundle and our Comcast Digital Voice service."
The 4,000 new employees will join Comcast's current 66,000-member cable division workforce in helping connect customers to Comcast Digital Voice and other cutting-edge cable, entertainment and communications products and services. These new jobs include 3,000 front-line technicians and 1,000 customer care representatives who will install, maintain and provide support for the company's services, as well as managerial and sales positions. As a result of its commitment to employees, Comcast is regularly recognized by local publications as a top employer, receiving 25 awards for being a "Best Employer" in states and cities around the country.
