Company’s multi-million-dollar investment will bring blazing fast internet to almost 4,300 locations

 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — July 24, 2024 — Brightspeed, the nation’s fourth largest fiber broadband builder focused on empowering more homes with ultrafast, reliable internet, announced that construction is underway to connect thousands of residents living just outside of Dallas to Brightspeed Fiber Internet. The company is currently working to connect nearly 4,300 families and local businesses in the Commerce area.

 

What to Expect During Construction

 

Residents across the area have likely seen Brightspeed trucks in their local neighborhoods as crews work to bring people online. Brightspeed’s highest priority is working quickly and efficiently within these local communities, keeping safety at the forefront.

 

Texans can check fiber availability in their area by visiting www.brightspeed.com/brightspeed-fiber-internet/ and signing up to receive alerts when service is available at their location. Once connected, customers can expect straightforward bills, easy-to-understand plans and internet connections that just work.

 

North Texas 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 multi-gig-speed capabilities and consistent responsiveness that enable multi-device households to connect, work, study, stream, communicate and game efficiently and reliably in Texas.

 

Brightspeed Fiber is More Than Just Internet

 

Put simply, high-speed internet equals opportunity for households and businesses alike, and access to fast 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 in North Texas — so residents and business owners have the reliable connectivity they need to work, learn, play and thrive.

 

Brightspeed is already making a multi-billion-dollar investment 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, the company will continue pursuing state and federal broadband grant funding to augment its current fiber network build plan in Texas to help close the digital divide.
