Spectrum expands fiber access in Wright County with help from MN Broadband Grant

Charter Communications reports

Spectrum, the #1 rural internet provider in the nation*, today announced the expansion of Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV and Voice services to more than 1,000 additional homes and small businesses in previously unserved or underserved addresses in Wright County, Minnesota.

Our multi-year rural construction initiative is driven by more than $7 billion in private investment from Charter and will ultimately add an additional 100,000+ miles of fiber-optic network infrastructure and deliver symmetrical and multi-gigabit speed internet access to more than 1.7 million new locations across the country.

The project was supported by Minnesota’s Border to Border Broadband Program with Round 7 funding in 2022 to build fiber-to-the-premise technology to previously unserved locations. This latest effort, which completed earlier this summer, includes areas north and west of Delano in the Town of Franklin, north of Rockford along the county line, and south and west of Buffalo Lake.
