Spectrum Launches Gigabit Broadband, Mobile, TV and Voice Services in Flagler County, Florida

Network Buildout is Part of Spectrum’s $5 Billion, Multiyear Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) Investment in Rural Broadband

ORLANDO, Fla. — Spectrum, the #1 rural internet provider in the nation^*, today announced the launch of Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV and Voice services to more than 900 homes and small businesses in Flagler County, Florida. Spectrum’s newly constructed fiber-optic network buildout is now available in the Western part of the county, specifically Andalusia, Bimini and Daytona North. It is part of the company’s approximately $5 billion RDOF-related investment in unserved rural communities, partly offset by $1.2 billion in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) RDOF auction.

“Spectrum is bringing gigabit broadband to unserved communities in Florida and across America through RDOF,” said Scott Stinson, Area Vice President, Field Operations, Charter Communications. “Our investment is making it possible to deliver the high-value broadband, mobile, TV and voice services now available in Flagler County. We are providing local 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.”

The company’s RDOF expansion will provide broadband access to 1.3 million customer locations across 24 states in the coming years. Spectrum also has a partnership with Flagler County to expand broadband access to additional homes and small businesses in the area.

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 300 Mbps, with no modem fees, data caps or contracts. Spectrum Business Internet offers customers 1 Gbps download speeds, with 300 Mbps and 600 Mbps options. 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.

“This is excellent news for the residents of Flagler County, and I want to thank Charter for partnering with local, state, and federal officials to provide broadband access to our rural communities,” said Congressman Michael Waltz.  

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” issued in January 2023.

“High speed internet is essential for business, remote work, telehealth, and many other activities in modern society. For too long, rural areas like parts of Flagler County have been without access to broadband,” said Florida Speaker of the House Paul Renner. “Programs like RDOF and Spectrum’s local partnership with Flagler County improve connectivity in rural areas and help to bridge the digital divide.”

“This broadband expansion project has brought connectivity to families that have gone without it for too long,” said Flagler County Commissioner Leann Pennington. "Flagler County’s partnership with Spectrum underscores our commitment to ensuring all of our constituents have access to a high-speed internet connection.”

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 $29.99 a month, as well as By the Gig options.
