Spectrum Launches Gigabit Broadband, Mobile, TV and Voice Services in Knox County, Ohio

Network Buildout is Part of Spectrum’s $ 9 Billion, Multiyear Rural Construction Initiative 

KNOX COUNTY, Ohio — Spectrum, the #1 rural internet provider in the nation^*, today announced the launch of Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV and Voice services to more than 1,700 homes and small businesses in several Knox County, Ohio, communities, including parts of Butler, Clay, Clinton, College, Harrison, Jackson, Liberty, Miller, Morgan, Morris and Pleasant Townships. 

Our multi-year Rural Construction Initiative is an investment of approximately $9 billion – a portion of which we will offset with over $2 billion in government support funding – that will ultimately connect approximately 1.75 million new homes and small businesses across the country.

“Spectrum is bringing gigabit broadband to unserved communities in Ohio and across America,” said Jesse Femyer, Area Vice President, Field Operations. “Our investment is making it possible to deliver the high-value broadband, mobile, TV and voice services now available in Knox 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.”

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 1 Gbps download speeds, with 400 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.

“Reliable access to broadband infrastructure is a necessity for our rural economies to thrive,” said U.S. Rep. Troy Balderson. “I’m thrilled to see Spectrum’s investment in Ohio is paying off, and thousands of residents will have access to fast connectivity and its endless opportunities for work, learning, healthcare, and so much more.”

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.”

“Thanks to Spectrum and public investments, Ohioans in Knox County are finally getting the internet access they need,” said State Senator Andrew Brenner. “We are charting a new path forward that will bring our rural communities into the digital age.”

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 a month, as well as By the Gig options.
