Comcast Reaches 2 Millionth Digital Voice(R) Customer Milestone in Michigan

  Company Identifies Wayne Resident, Celebrates with Digital Home Makeover

    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.
