C Spire Activates Gigabit Service in Quitman, Mississippi

C Spire activated gigabit fiber service Monday in Quitman, Mississippi, which the company said it believes will restore the economic fortunes of the town. Quitman's economy has struggled amid job losses and plant closings, C Spire said. “We see a bright future for our town with widespread availability of high speed Internet,” Quitman Mayor Eddie Fulton said in a C Spire news release. Quitman was one of the Mississippi cities C Spire selected last year to as sites for gigabit deployment (see 1311050028).
