Spectrum has announced an expansion of its fiber broadband network in Boone County, extending service to more than 1,300 homes and businesses in previously underserved rural areas.
The project is part of a broader infrastructure initiative by Charter Communications, Spectrum’s parent company, aimed at expanding fiber-optic connectivity to rural and underserved regions across the United States. The effort includes the construction of thousands of miles of network infrastructure intended to improve broadband access in areas with limited service.
According to Josh Moore, Area Vice President for Spectrum’s Midwest South Management Area, the expansion is focused on increasing access to reliable internet services for residents and businesses in rural Indiana.
Local officials have expressed support for the project. Brian Buchanan said expanded broadband access has been a priority in Boone County and noted the importance of improving connectivity in rural communities.
The expanded network will provide internet access along with mobile, television, and voice services to newly connected areas. Company officials also indicated that continued upgrades to the network are planned as part of its long-term development.
Recent data from the Federal Communications Commission has evaluated broadband performance across providers, including Spectrum, as part of ongoing national reporting on internet service availability and reliability.
Residents and businesses in Boone County can check availability through Spectrum’s rural expansion resources.
The expansion reflects ongoing efforts to address gaps in broadband access and improve digital infrastructure in rural parts of Indiana.
