Comcast Passes Its Two Million Comcast Digital Voice(R) Customer Milestone

  Company Celebrates Two Millionth Customer with Digital Home Makeover in
                             Southeast Michigan

    PHILADELPHIA, March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSA;
CMCSK), the nation's leading provider of cable, 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 alternative for traditional telephone service.
The company celebrated by awarding a customer in southeast Michigan with a
digital home makeover to take advantage of the new integrated features that
are available through its Triple Play package of phone, high-speed Internet
and video services.
    Surpassing two million Comcast Digital Voice customers underscores the
record growth Comcast continues to experience across all cable products as
it aggressively rolls out its Triple Play package of services.
    "The momentum our voice product has experienced since it was launched
is simply staggering," said Cathy Avgiris, senior vice president and
general manager of Voice Services for Comcast. "We anticipate continued
growth for the Digital Voice product and look forward to unveiling
additional innovative features and services to our customers."
    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 value-added features and integration of the
products and services.
    Comcast Digital Voice
    Comcast Digital Voice is a less expensive, fully featured, reliable
digital-quality home phone service that is an alternative for customers'
traditional telephone service. Comcast Digital Voice service 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
