Mississippi City Qualifies Area for C Spire's 1 Gbps Fiber

Homeowner preregistration in Madison, Mississippi, exceeded the required threshold last week -- helping the municipality qualify its first area for C Spire’s 1 Gbps fiber-to-the-home Internet access and related services, said the company in a news release Tuesday. The city reached the target in 36 days, which C Spire said is faster than any other Mississippi city for the next-generation suite of services, which includes 100 times faster Internet, HDTV and home phone. C Spire said it expects to finish engineering, begin construction and offer the first commercial broadband Internet and related services in Madison later this year.
