WOW! Earns Prestigious Credential as Cablefax's 2026 "Top Ops Market Mover"

WideOpenWest, Inc. (WOW!), a prominent player in the realm of fiber-broadband internet services, has recently attained the accolade of Cablefax's 2026 Top Ops Market Mover. This prestigious recognition underscores WOW!'s steadfast commitment to innovation, significant investments in network expansion, and modernization, continuing to meet the evolving demands of customers and communities alike.

The Top Ops awards are presented annually to individuals and companies making remarkable strides in the cable and broadband industry. Specifically, the Market Mover category is tailored for operators whose strategic decisions—such as greenfield expansions, modernization initiatives, and new market entries—have notably influenced their competitive standing over the past year.

WOW! has made substantial strides in enhancing its network capabilities, expanding its fiber footprint while concurrently updating its existing infrastructure to ensure exceptional reliability and performance. Over the past year, the company has successfully increased fiber passings by over 50% in expansion markets and by more than 20% in legacy areas. In doing so, WOW! has extended its network reach to almost 50,000 additional residences and businesses in regions including Central Florida, South Carolina, and Michigan.

In a significant move just last month, WOW! completed a major upgrade to its network in Newnan, Georgia. This improvement marks the most considerable capacity enhancement for WOW! internet customers over the past decade, highlighted by a tenfold increase in upload speeds. Furthermore, WOW! plans additional upgrades in this market over the coming year, aiming to boost capacity further and preparing for the anticipated launch of DOCSIS 4.0.

Frank van der Post, the CEO of WOW!, expressed enthusiasm regarding this honor, “We’re pleased to be recognized for the hard work our team does day in and day out to modernize our networks and to deliver a great connected experience for our customers. Our focus is not just about expansion into new fiber markets. It includes making targeted improvements to the existing network, including adding capacity to deliver the greatest impact for our customers.”

This recognition not only validates WOW!'s ongoing transformation efforts but also signifies their unwavering commitment to enhancing user experiences. With an approach that encompasses both new market expansions and significant improvements to their existing infrastructure, WOW! sets an industry benchmark for customer satisfaction and reliability in the telecommunications landscape.

WOW! stands tall as one of America’s leading broadband providers, boasting a fiber-rich network that serves nearly two million residential, business, and wholesale customers across 20 markets, including Michigan, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
