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

Network Buildout is Part of Spectrum’s 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 1,300 homes and small businesses in Orange County, Florida, specifically Bithlo/Christmas as well as South Apopka. Spectrum’s newly constructed fiber-optic network buildout is part of the company’s investment in unserved rural communities.

“We are committed to ensuring that Orange County residents are not left behind in bridging the digital divide,” said Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings. “Our goal is to provide equal access to the benefits of the digital economy to all residents. Affordable, high-speed internet connects residents to critical services and expands economic opportunities to every community.” 

Spectrum has won more than $700 million in state broadband expansion subsidies, which, combined with Spectrum investment, will deliver high-speed internet access to 300,000 homes and small businesses. The company’s RDOF expansion also will provide broadband access to 1.3 million customer locations across 24 states in the coming years.

“Spectrum is bringing gigabit broadband to unserved communities in Florida and across America,” said Chris Snyder, Regional Vice President, Field Operations, Southeast Region. “Our investment is making it possible to deliver the high-value broadband, mobile, TV and voice services now available in Orange County in the Bithlo/Christmas and South Apopka areas. 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.”
