Is broad band available in Brown county so I can work from home?
The short answer is yes in many locations.
But there are several exciting projects to expand access. Last year Spectrum was awarded a $22 million broad band grant from the state to increase access to more that 6,000 homes and businesses. And this year the state has announced another major expansion for Brown and surrounding counties to the tune of $110 million dollars. $50 million from the state and $60 million from Altafiber (formerly Cincinnati Bell).
Altafiber’s first phase of fiber optic network should be completed by the end of 2026 and remaining work will finish by 2028. In the end, another 5,000 plus homes and businesses will have improved internet capabilities. This is great news for rural families and businesses to stay connected.
