Summary
More than 1,700 homes and businesses in Union County, Ohio, can now access Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV and Voice services, with the expansion reaching previously unserved or underserved areas near Marysville, Byhalia, Milford Center, Raymond and Richwood.
Spectrum said the local buildout is part of a multi-year rural initiative backed by more than $7 billion in private investment that aims to add 100,000-plus miles of fiber and reach over 1.7 million new locations nationwide.
Up to 1 Gbps service is now available in the newly reached areas, with starting speeds of 500 Mbps and no modem fees, data caps or contracts; the company also said it is upgrading its broader network for gigabit upstream and multi-gig download speeds.
Ohio officials framed the expansion as a public-private push to close rural connectivity gaps, linking broadband access to workforce development and broader economic opportunity.
