Charter Spectrum build-out complete on peninsula

Charter Spectrum announced earlier this month that their fiber optic network build-out in Leelanau County has been completed, making their internet, mobile, TV, and voice services available to an additional 180 homes and businesses. These previously unserved or underserved addresses are in Cleveland, Kasson, and Solon townships.

Spectrum has been working on its own broadband expansion in Leelanau County since 2020, when the federal government awarded just under $1 million to them through the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF).

According to a Spectrum press release, this is part of an approximately $5 billion investment in unserved rural communities throughout the country, partially offset by $1.2 billion from RDOF auctions.
