Comcast Completes Xfinity Home Service Launch in West Virginia

Comcast has announced the completion of its launch of Xfinity Home across the company's West Virginia service area. Xfinity Home offers traditional home security components, like police and fire alarm protection backed by 24/7 professional monitoring, as well as the ability to remotely adjust digital thermostats, turn lights on or off and watch secure live streaming video from wireless cameras while away from home. The service also comes with the Xfinity Home app, which is available for free on Apple's iTunes App Store and Google Play for Android.

First available in the early part of this year, "Xfinity Home brings digital home monitoring to a new level. It comes with a range of broadband-based technologies that empower customers to stay better connected to their home virtually anytime, anywhere," said Mitch Bowling, Senior Vice President and General Manager of New Businesses for Comcast Cable.

Xfinity Home offers consumers the ability to create personalized settings that can do things like provide real-time e-mail or text alerts when doors open or close or when motion detectors report activity occurring inside or outside of the home. In addition, the service comes with a tablet-like touch screen with a menu of widgets that allow access to the latest weather, news, traffic, and sports scores.

In addition to 24/7 professional monitoring, Xfinity Home provides customers with the ability to:

• watch live streaming video of their home via wireless cameras;
• access security controls remotely via a Web portal or the Xfinity Security app for the iPhone or Android devices;
• manage home utilities like digital thermostats and lights;
• have more peace of mind since both battery and cellular backup helps ensure customers remain fully protected even in the event of a power outage.

Today, Comcast is selling Xfinity Home in packages starting as low as $29.95 per month. Xfinity Home customers will also be eligible to receive up to a 20 percent discount on their homeowners' insurance. Visit www.xfinity.com/home for more information on pricing, equipment and additional features.
