The regional fiber broadband expansion plan in Summit, Portage, Geauga, and Cuyahoga Counties includes Tallmadge, Kent, Hudson, Twinsburg, Solon, Streetsboro, Stow, Aurora, and other surrounding communities. The build continues altafiber’s expansion strategy as it delivers on its mission to provide individuals and businesses with the fastest, most reliable, future-proof fiber network. In addition, plans are being finalized to expand to additional communities in Northeast Ohio as well.

Access to reliable high-speed Internet is an essential service for residents and businesses to address hybrid work, virtual learning, telemedicine and many other essential daily activities.
