Bridging the Digital Divide and Connecting Communities

Why Affordable Internet Access Matters

At Spectrum, we’re committed to building stronger, more connected communities. Unfortunately, millions of Americans still live without fast, reliable Internet. The gap, known as the digital divide, disproportionately impacts low-income households, people with disabilities and rural communities. Spectrum is investing in broadband access programs to close the digital divide and create more inclusive experiences for everyone.

Rural Expansion Program

Spectrum is closing gaps in Internet access as the #1 rural Internet provider in the nation. As part of a multi-year initiative, we’re expanding our network to bring high-speed Internet to over 1 million underserved customers.
