Allen County is Getting the Best in Broadband
The Brightspeed Fiber Internet network leverages the latest XGS-PON (10-Gigabit Symmetric Passive Optical Network) technology to bring boosted gig-speed capabilities and consistent responsiveness. It will enable multi-device households to connect, work, study, stream, communicate, and game efficiently and reliably in Lima and its surrounding areas.
Brightspeed Fiber is More Than Just Internet
Put simply, high-speed internet equals opportunity for households and businesses alike, and access to fast, reliable and affordable internet and Wi-Fi will help close the rural-urban digital divide. That’s why Brightspeed is building its smart, fiber optics-based network in communities like Lima — so residents and business owners have the reliable connectivity they need to work, learn, play and thrive.
Brightspeed is already investing $2 billion in deploying next-generation fiber-optic technology to build a more reliable, super-fast broadband internet network that will reach more than three million homes and businesses across 20 states. Additionally, Brightspeed is pursuing state and federal funding to augment its current fiber network build plan in Ohio to help close the digital divide across the state’s counties.
