"Brightspeed, the nation's third-largest fiber broadband builder and provider of the country's fastest internet service, as determined by HighSpeedInternet.com's Annual Service Provider Review 2025, has hit a major milestone - the completion of its fiber network in 13 Kansas communities. Now, nearly 29,000 families and businesses in Baldwin, Benedict, Ellinwood, Garnett, Garness, Hillsboro, Holton, Horton, Huntington, Junction City, Osage City, Osawatomie and Sterling have access to ultra-fast, ultra-reliable internet powering everything from remote work and online learning to telehealth and local business growth."
""For too long, many rural communities have been left behind without reliable, high-speed internet," said Carsi Mitzner, director of government affairs at Brightspeed. "Aging copper networks can't provide the speed and bandwidths needed for today's technology. That's why Brightspeed is working to deliver fiber networks with the speed and reliability these communities deserve. This investment isn't just about technology, it's about opening doors to better education, stronger local economies, improved healthcare access and new opportunities for families and businesses to grow and thrive.""
Brightspeed completed its fiber network in 13 Kansas communities, giving nearly 29,000 families and businesses access to ultra-fast, ultra-reliable internet for remote work, online learning, telehealth, and local business growth. Aging copper networks cannot provide the speed and bandwidth needed for modern technology, so Brightspeed is deploying multi-gigabit fiber to deliver higher speed and reliability. Approximately four in ten Kansas residents currently cannot purchase a fiber plan; once fully deployed, the network will serve more than 49,000 locations across 23 counties. The investment provides critical infrastructure that advances education, economic development, healthcare access, and digital inclusion.
