Under McArdle’s leadership, Comcast will continue to accelerate the nation’s largest and fastest multi-gig deployment across the South Region, the release stated. As a result, customers throughout Comcast’s current service footprint, as well as those in new markets, will be able to access the Xfinity 10G Network being built to power the rapid rise in Internet consumption that is happening today and will continue well into the future.

I also am excited to continue our longstanding commitment to bridging the digital divide in the communities we serve, and our employees live and work.”

McArdle started his career at Comcast in 1996 as a customer account executive and progressed into positions with increasing levels of responsibility, according to the release. Prior to his current position, McCardle’s roles included senior vice president of National Customer Care for Customer Experience Strategy and Operations (CXSO) and senior vice president of Customer Care and CX for Comcast’s Central Division.
