A new initiative from one of Missouri’s biggest internet service providers promises to bring super fast broadband speeds to areas where they are desperately needed.
Charter Communications, which provides Spectrum service, recently announced a $5 billion initiative that will focus on broadband buildout in 24 states, reaching an estimated 1 million unserved customer locations. The buildout will include $1.2 billion in Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) money that was awarded to the company in late 2020.
