Spectrum: Launches gigabit broadband, mobile, TV and voice services in additional areas of Rock County

ROCK COUNTY, Wis. (Sep. 19, 2022) — Spectrum today announced the launch of Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV and Voice services to more than 320 homes and small businesses in central Rock County, in and around Magnolia, Spring Valley, Decatur, Avon and Spring Grove.

Spectrum’s newly constructed fiber-optic network buildout in areas of Rock County not previously served is part of the company’s approximately $5 billion investment in rural communities, which includes $1.2 billion won in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) 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.

“Through RDOF, Spectrum is making a multiyear investment to extend gigabit broadband networks to unserved communities across America,” said Matt Brown, Spectrum’s Vice President of Construction. “Our commitment is making it possible to deliver the high-value broadband, mobile, TV and voice services now available in parts of Rock County that weren’t previously served. We are providing superior connectivity to local residents and small businesses at highly competitive prices, backed by an organization committed to craftsmanship and service.”

Spectrum Internet Gig, with download speeds of 1 Gbps, is now available throughout the buildout area. Spectrum Internet offers starting speeds of 300 Mbps, with Spectrum Internet Ultra providing download speeds of 500 Mbps. For small and medium-sized businesses, Spectrum Business Internet offers download speeds of 300 Mbps, 600 Mbps and 1 Gbps. Local residents and business owners should visit spectrumruralexpansion.com to learn more about when their home or business may be able to receive Spectrum services.

“Bringing broadband to everyone is critical to economic development and needs to happen quickly,” said state Sen. Janis Ringhand. “That’s why today’s announcement from Spectrum is so exciting – high-speed internet access for hundreds of families across rural Rock County.”

Ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the Best Internet Service Provider for Rural Areas in its 2021-22 ratings, Spectrum Internet also 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 December 2021. And all Spectrum Internet plans have no data caps, modem fees or contracts.

Spectrum Mobile is available exclusively to Spectrum Internet customers. Combining the fastest overall speeds* with the best devices and a choice of Unlimited or By the Gig data plans, Spectrum Mobile provides customers the highest-quality experience at great value, including access to nationwide 5G. Customers can bring their own phone or choose from among the latest mobile devices and accessories.
