Nearly 1,200 homes and businesses in rural Delaware County, Indiana, will gain access to Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV and Voice services under the latest fiber expansion.
More than $7 billion in private investment is funding Spectrum’s multi-year rural construction push, which the company says will add 100,000-plus miles of fiber and reach over 1.7 million new locations nationwide.
Spectrum said the new service offers residential and business internet speeds starting at 500 Mbps and up to 1 Gbps, with no modem fees, data caps or contracts.
The company is also upgrading its broader network to support gigabit upload speeds and multi-gigabit downloads across its 41-state footprint, extending the rural buildout into a wider capacity expansion.
