Who is Brightspeed?
Brightspeed, an innovative telecommunications and internet service provider and the nation’s third largest fiber broadband builder, made a multi-billion-dollar commitment to build a state-of-the-art fiber network in communities across our 20-state footprint that would reach homes and businesses that have historically lacked quality options for reliable high-speed internet.
We are helping bridge the digital divide by providing residents and businesses with the fast, reliable connections they need to work, learn, play and thrive in today’s hyper-connected world.
Since launching in the area in October 2022, Brightspeed has committed to investing in community events, programs and facilities.
What do you most want people to know about your organization?
At Brightspeed, we believe in internet for all, and we’re on a mission to bring more connectivity to America. We believe where you call home shouldn’t limit your options — and we’re building the infrastructure to provide millions of homes and businesses with high-quality internet. We are building our network to reach more than 310,000 Missouri homes and businesses. Additionally, we are pursuing state and federal grants and subsidy funds to augment our own investment and reach even more Missourians with our fiber network build.
