SOUTHFIELD, Mich., March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Comcast, the nation's leading provider of entertainment and communications products and services today announced it has surpassed the two million-customer milestone for Comcast Digital Voice(R), the company's innovative home phone service. Comcast Digital Voice is a fully featured, reliable and less expensive replacement for traditional telephone service. The company celebrated the occasion by awarding Comcast customer Shelly Nix, of Wayne, Michigan with a "Digital Home Makeover" and other great prizes. Ms. Nix was identified as the two millionth customer to sign on for Comcast Digital Voice.
"People are discovering the tremendous savings gained by selecting Comcast Digital Voice over traditional carriers such as AT&T," said Dave Buhl, Region Senior Vice President, Comcast Michigan. "Reaching the two millionth customer right here in Michigan is a testament to the popularity of Comcast Digital Voice in this state. We know that as more customers compare costs, value and our superior technology they too will make the switch to Comcast Digital Voice."
Surpassing two million Comcast Digital Voice customers underscores the record growth Comcast continues to experience as it aggressively rolls out its Triple Play package of services. Triple Play, which bundles phone, high-speed Internet and video services into a value-added package, gives customers the convenience of using one company and receiving one monthly billing statement for all three services.
In addition to the cost savings and convenience of using one company for all services, the bundle provides further value and simplicity because customers benefit from the integration of video, Internet and telephony.
Comcast Digital Voice
Comcast Digital Voice is a less expensive, fully featured, reliable digital-quality home phone service replacement for customers' plain old telephone service which includes: unlimited local and domestic long-distance calling (including calls to Canada and Puerto Rico); competitive international rates with no monthly fee or minimums; Web access to voicemail; online call management; E911 service; and 12 of the most popular calling features. Comcast Digital Voice stands out because calls originate and travel over Comcast's advanced, proprietary managed network, unlike best effort Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) offerings that run on the public Internet.
