Spectrum Launches Gigabit Broadband, Mobile, TV and Voice Services in Seneca County, Ohio

Spectrum today announced the launch of Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV and Voice services to over 50 homes and small businesses in Seneca County, primarily in Pleasant Township and portions of Clinton Township, Ohio. Spectrum’s newly constructed fiber-optic network buildout in Seneca County is part of the company’s approximately $5 billion investment in unserved rural communities, which includes more than $1 billion won in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) 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 Dwight Buchanon, VP, Construction Rural Build Ohio. “Our commitment is making it possible to deliver the high-value broadband, mobile, TV and voice services now available in Seneca County. 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 offers customers a best-in-class suite of products, highlighted by Spectrum Internet plans with speeds up to 1 Gbps for both residential customers and small business clients, starting speeds of 300 Mbps and no modem fees, data caps or contracts. Spectrum Business Internet offers download speeds of 300 Mbps, 600 Mbps and 1 Gbps.

Spectrum Internet has been consecutively ranked as one of the best internet service providers by U.S. News & World Report, and also earned the highest rating among the Best Internet Service Providers for Rural Areas. 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.

“I have seen first-hand how events like the pandemic created significant obstacles for families without internet access," said State Representative Gary Click. “Today’s announcement from Spectrum helps bring us closer to 100% internet access in Seneca County, which is a big win for our communities and our state.”

“Expanding internet access to all Seneca County residents is one of the top priorities of the board of commissioners,” said Anthony Paradiso, President, Seneca County Board of Commissioners. “This project is a great step toward accomplishing this. I am thankful for all entities working to bring fast, reliable connectivity to our communities.”

Spectrum was also a day one participant in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which makes quality, high-speed internet service available at a low — or even at no — cost to eligible families in financial need. All Spectrum Internet plans are eligible for ACP credits.

Along with multiple broadband options, Spectrum services will also include Spectrum TV^® and Spectrum Mobile^™.

Spectrum Mobile, available exclusively to Spectrum Internet customers, combines 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, including access to nationwide 5G, at great value (two or more lines starting at $29.99 a month, saving customers up to $1,000 a year^**). 

Spectrum TV offers more than 200 HD channels and access to 85,000 On Demand movies and shows. Using the Spectrum TV App, viewers can stream content across a growing number of platforms, including iOS and Android mobile devices, Xbox One, Kindle Fire, Samsung Smart TVs, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Roku, XClass TVs and PCs.
