Spectrum Launches Broadband Network in Jefferson County, Texas Using Rural Digital Opportunity Funds

Spectrum announced the launch of Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV and Voice services to more than 2,670 homes and small businesses in rural Jefferson County (TX). Spectrum’s newly constructed fiber-optic network buildout is part of the company’s approximately $5 billion investment in unserved rural communities, which includes $1.2 billion won in the Federal Communications Commission’s Rural Digital opportunity Fund (RDOF) auction. The company’s RDOF expansion will provide broadband access to approximately 1 million customer locations as estimated by the FCC across 24 states in the coming years. “[This] announcement is great news for residents in Jefferson County who lacked a broadband connection at home until now,” said Texas State Speaker of the House Dade Phelan (R-TX). “Spectrum’s high-speed broadband will bring economic opportunity to this community.”
