Work on the new all-fiber infrastructure in Seminole County has already begun. Customers will have access to the provider's multi-Gig HSD service, WOW!'s fastest broadband speed available, home and business WiFi solutions to support streaming, remote work and small business needs as well as WOW! tv+, its premier IP-based video service.
