Spectrum Expands Gigabit Broadband, Mobile, TV and Voice Services in Walworth County, Wisconsin

ELKHORN, Wis. — Spectrum, the #1 rural internet provider in the nation^*, today announced the expansion of Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV and Voice services to more than 3,600 homes and small businesses in previously unserved or underserved addresses in Walworth County, Wisconsin.

Our multi-year rural construction initiative is driven by more than $7 billion in private investment from Charter 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 Wisconsin and across America,” said Justin Monroe-Jimenez, Director of Construction for Spectrum. “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.

“For too long there has been a lack of much-needed broadband coverage across the 31^st District,” said Assembly Majority Leader Tyler August. “That is finally changing. Thanks to help from Spectrum, we are getting more residents in Walworth County online and bringing them access to the tools they need to compete and excel.”

“Spectrum is helping us to bring Walworth residents into the digital age,” said County Administrator Mark Luberda. “With this latest expansion, we are bringing thousands of homes and small businesses online. This investment, supported in part by state, federal and Walworth County resources, is sure to support our community for generations to come.”

The project was supported, in part, by federal award number SLFRP0135 awarded to Spectrum by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. These federal funds were made available through the American Rescue Plan Act and the State of Wisconsin, acting by and through the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin. Expansion activities in Walworth County also included federal Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) and private investment from Charter.

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.”

Along with multiple broadband options, Spectrum services now available also include Spectrum Mobile^™ and Spectrum TV^®. Spectrum Mobile is the nation’s fastest-growing mobile provider^** and combines with Spectrum Internet and Advanced Home WiFi to provide seamless connectivity inside and outside the home. Spectrum Mobile provides customers access to nationwide 5G at great value, with Unlimited lines starting at $30.00 a month, as well as By the Gig options.
