Spectrum Expands Gigabit Broadband, Mobile, TV and Voice Services in Carroll County, Ohio

CARROLLTON, Ohio — Spectrum, the #1 rural internet provider in the nation^*, today announced the expansion of Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV and Voice services to nearly 3,000 homes and small businesses in previously unserved or underserved addresses in Carroll County, Ohio.

Our multi-year rural construction initiative is driven by more than $7 billion in private investment from Spectrum and will ultimately add an additional 100,000+ miles of fiber-optic network infrastructure and deliver symmetrical and multi-gigabit speed internet access to more than 1.7 million new locations across the country.

“Spectrum is bringing gigabit broadband to unserved communities in Ohio and across America,” said Chuck Sullivan, Area Vice President of Field Operations. “Our investment is providing residents and small businesses superior connectivity at highly competitive prices, backed by a team of skilled local technicians and 100% U.S.-based customer service.”

Broadband Speeds up to 1 Gbps, Plus Money-Saving Mobile Options and 85,000 On Demand Choices

Spectrum Internet delivers speeds up to 1 Gbps and Advanced WiFi for residential and small business customers, featuring starting speeds of 500 Mbps, with no modem fees, data caps or contracts. Spectrum Business Internet offers customers the option of 500 Mbps and 1 Gbps download speeds. The company has also begun a network evolution that will provide gigabit upstream speeds and multiple gigabit download speeds across its entire 41-state service area.

“I am extremely grateful that more and more Carroll County residents are getting access to the high-speed internet that they truly deserve,” said State Senator Al Cutrona. “During my time in office, it has been a top priority of mine to expand connectivity to the rural parts of my district, especially for those individuals who have not yet been able to experience quality, high-speed internet.”

“With Spectrum’s help, we are creating a new reality for residents in Carroll County—a reality in which reliable and affordable internet access is the norm,” said State Representative Robb Blasdel. “I am grateful for Spectrum’s partnership and continued dedication to bringing internet access to rural communities in Ohio.”

County Commissioner Chris Modranski added, "Reliable internet is essential in today’s world, and we’re glad to see Spectrum stepping up to meet that need in Carroll County. This expansion will open doors for families, students, and local businesses."

Spectrum Internet exceeded advertised download and upload speeds for all tiers measured — even during peak weeknight usage between 7 and 11 p.m. — according to the FCC’s most recent “Measuring Broadband America Fixed Broadband Report.”
