Clinton becomes second Mississippi city to qualify at least five areas for C Spire's historic 1 Gbps Fiber to the Home Internet technology initiative

CLINTON, Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Homeowner pre-registration exceeded the required threshold in a fifth area of Clinton last week – helping the city expand eligibility for C Spire's ultra-fast 1 Gbps (Gigabit per second) Fiber to the Home Internet and related Super^TM HD TV and home phone services.

Municipal leaders and C Spire officials announced today that Clinton's Lakeridge fiberhood reached its pre-registration target on Friday and now joins the Cascades, Southern Oaks, Hunter's Ridge-Indian Trails and Bruenburg North fiberhoods, which qualified for the 100 times faster Internet earlier this year.

The Ridgeland-based telecommunications and technology services company expects to finish engineering and begin construction in the latest Clinton fiberhood in June. Commercial service is expected to be available by mid-October in all five areas of the city.
