C Spire conducted survey before deciding to go for offering high speed services in the city. The city has reached pre-registration goals in seven of its 21 “fiberhoods.” The company said that it has begun construction in three areas and service is available today in Hunter’s Ridge-Indian Trails fiberhood. Later this year, C Spire plans to turn up service in the remaining six fiberhoods.
