Summary
Nearly 2,200 homes and businesses in Perry County, Ohio, can now access Spectrum’s fiber broadband expansion, including areas near Corning, Crooksville, Junction City, Mount Perry, New Lexington and New Straitsville.
Spectrum said the buildout targets previously unserved or underserved rural areas, backed by more than $7 billion in private investment and support from the federal Rural Digital Opportunity Fund.
Residential and business customers can get internet speeds up to 1 Gbps, with starting speeds of 500 Mbps and no modem fees, data caps or contracts; the company is also upgrading its broader network for gigabit upstream and multi-gig download speeds.
The Perry County expansion fits into Spectrum’s multi-year national plan to add more than 100,000 miles of fiber and reach over 1.7 million new locations across its 41-state footprint.
