ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 26,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- WOW! Internet, TV & Phone
(NYSE: WOW), a leading broadband services provider, today announced
its entrance into Minnesota where
it will begin construction of its fast, reliable, all-IP fiber
network in Anoka and Ramsey Counties over the coming months. The
company expects to add more than 85,000 new homes in Minnesota, increasing the number of targeted
homes passed as part of the Greenfield expansion initiative to a
total of 345,000 homes passed, reflecting progress toward the
company's goal of reaching 400,000 new homes by 2027 and increasing
its footprint by 21%.
WOW!'s expansion into Minnesota
builds off the company's announcement earlier this month to bring
its services to new communities in Michigan. These new service area expansions
are part of the company's larger Greenfield initiative, with new
build-outs underway in Central
Florida and Greenville County,
South Carolina, and early indicators pointing to impressive
growth and penetration in Central
Florida communities where WOW!'s service is now
available.
The Minnesota communities that
will benefit from WOW!'s all-fiber network expansion include
Andover, Anoka, Centerville, Circle
Pines, Coon Rapids,
Lexington, Lino Lakes, Ramsey, Roseville, Shoreview and White
Bear Lake. WOW! has begun preliminary work in these areas to
bring its state-of-the-art services and exceptional customer
service to community members seeking more flexible and reliable
broadband access.
"On the heels of our new Central
Florida and South Carolina
market expansions, and construction to expand our services in
Michigan, our move into
Minnesota extends WOW!'s
footprint," said Teresa Elder, CEO
of WOW!. "With our unwavering dedication to providing outstanding
customer service and giving back to the communities we serve; we
look forward to offering businesses and residents in these areas
more options for their broadband needs."
Once services are launched, these communities will experience
WOW!'s all-fiber network and can subscribe to fiber services,
including residential symmetrical Internet speeds up to 5 Gbps.
