WASHINGTON (AP) — Comcast Corp. has reached a settlement with federal regulators under which it will pay the government $800,000 and offer a broadband Internet access option to customers who don’t subscribe to the cable company’s video cable services.

The Federal Communications Commission said Wednesday that Comcast agreed to take those and other steps as part of a consent decree to settle an investigation by the agency into the company’s compliance with conditions of its NBCUniversal acquisition, which was completed in January 2011.

Comcast, the nation’s largest cable TV company, bought a controlling interest in NBCUniversal after the FCC and the Justice Department approved the deal with conditions following a yearlong review.

One of the conditions called on Comcast to offer stand-alone broadband Internet access services at reasonable prices and with sufficient bandwidth to customers who don’t pay to get Comcast’s cable TV service.

The agency launched an investigation after it received information suggesting that Comcast wasn’t adequately marketing the service.

Comcast did not admit any wrongdoing as part of the consent decree, which resolves the investigation.

Under the terms of the settlement, Comcast agreed to provide a reasonably priced broadband Internet option through at least Feb. 21, 2015, to customers who don’t get its cable TV service.

It also agreed to make a ‘‘voluntary contribution’’ to the U.S. Treasury of $800,000, the FCC said.

Among other conditions, the FCC required Comcast to conduct a major advertising campaign to promote the availability of the stand-alone Internet service next year.
