WOW! Announces Fiber Network Expansion for 17,000 Homes in Michigan Region

WOW! Extends Fiber Network in East Central Michigan

WOW!, a renowned provider of fiber and broadband services, is embarking on a significant expansion plan that will bring all-fiber internet to more than 17,000 new homes and businesses located in East Central Michigan. This exciting development is set to commence in the spring, rolling out services in areas such as Genesee, Livingston, and Oakland counties.

By the early fall, WOW! will ensure that over 27,000 homes and businesses in the region will be connected to its high-speed all-fiber internet service. This rollout is not just about increasing access; it's about enhancing connectivity and performance with advanced Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) technology. With FTTH, fiber connections are brought directly into homes and businesses, delivering symmetrical speeds for both downloads and uploads. This means users can enjoy seamless 4K video streaming, fast online gaming experiences, effective large file sharing, and reliable work-from-home capabilities.

The move to bolster its fiber network is accompanied by planned upgrades to WOW!'s existing broadband infrastructure throughout Michigan and its other service areas across the United States. With improvements to fiber backbone, core networks, and data transport systems, WOW! aims to expand capacity, boost reliability, and introduce even faster internet speeds to its customers.

Aaron Brace, WOW!'s Chief Technology and Information Officer, emphasized the transformative nature of fiber and broadband internet, stating, "Fiber and broadband internet are the gold standards for affordable connectivity. Failures in other technologies due to interference, weather, or heavy usage can significantly disrupt services. However, our fiber solutions promise a stable online experience with superfast speeds that keep customers connected to what matters most."

As WOW! rolls out these services, it will notify residents and businesses in the newly activated areas of the fiber availability. The introduction of fiber services will cover selective locations including Brighton, Genoa, and Green Oak Townships, as well as the cities of Brighton and Flint, with newer areas like Commerce and Milford Townships along with Wixom City also slated for service upgrades.

This expansion of connectivity is part of WOW!'s ongoing commitment to provide cutting-edge broadband solutions. With over two million residential, business, and wholesale consumers on its network, the company stands among the major players in the broadband sector. WOW!'s comprehensive portfolio of services encompasses high-speed internet, fiber solutions in various locations, television, home and mobile phone services, as well as business data and cloud offerings.
