Spectrum, a leading rural internet provider in the nation, has officially launched Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV, and Voice services to over 1,000 homes and small businesses in the vicinity of Allenville, Delta, Dutchtown, Jackson, and other rural areas within Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. This expansion is part of Spectrum’s extensive $5 billion investment in unserved rural communities, funded in part by the $1.2 billion secured in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) RDOF auction.
As part of Spectrum’s commitment to bridging the digital divide, their RDOF initiative aims to provide broadband access to approximately 1 million customer locations across 24 states in the coming years. Additionally, Spectrum has successfully obtained over $700 million in state broadband expansion subsidies, enhancing connectivity for an additional 300,000 homes and small businesses.
Matt Brown, Spectrum’s Vice President of Construction, emphasized the company’s dedication to bringing gigabit broadband to underserved communities nationwide through the RDOF initiative. He highlighted Spectrum’s investment, enabling the delivery of high-value broadband, mobile, TV, and voice services to rural Cape Girardeau County, supported by a team of skilled local technicians and 100% U.S.-based customer service.
