The company announced that fiber internet now covers over 350,000 homes and businesses in the state, offering 100% fiber-to-the-home connectivity and multi-gigabit speed internet services, with plans to add approximately 200,000 additional locations across the state.
Brightspeed is the third-largest fiber broadband builder in the United States, providing multi-gigabit speed internet services to homes and businesses.

As construction continues to advance, Brightspeed's team is visiting local communities to establish direct connections with residents and businesses. Company representatives will provide three specific forms of assistance: informing users whether their address is covered by Brightspeed fiber internet, detailing available packages and their service advantages, and guiding how to access fast, reliable, and affordable fiber internet. Tshacha Romeo, Brightspeed's Director of Sales Channels, stated that fiber can transform community possibilities, but this transformation depends on people knowing and understanding how the service can benefit them. The team builds personal connections through door-to-door visits, helping residents and businesses understand how Brightspeed fiber internet supports their work, learning, connectivity, and growth.
