Brightspeed: Tennessee Rebuild After Hurricane Helene Nearly Complete

Rebuilding parts of Brightspeed's Tennessee network swept away by September's Hurricane Helene is largely done, with the rest of the restoration work to be completed in Q3, the fiber operator told the FCC in a filing posted Wednesday (docket 24-702). Flooding impaired voice service for 309 customers -- many of whom also lost homes. It said new fiber deployment is complete, with work now focused on connecting customers to the new network.
