Brightspeed to light up 86K sites with fiber-based internet in Raleigh

Brightspeed is making strides in its plans for additional construction of the Brightspeed Fiber Internet network in communities surrounding Raleigh. The company is working to connect more than 86,000 addresses across the Triangle Region of its home state of North Carolina.

Specifically, Brightspeed Fiber Internet connectivity will soon be available in Johnston, Harnett, Vance, Person, Orange, Moore, and Chatham counties, and construction is already underway for approximately 8,000 locations. 

So far, nearly 19,000 addresses are fully enabled with Brightspeed Fiber Internet. 

As construction gets underway, residents are likely already seeing Brightspeed trucks in their local neighborhoods as crews work to bring families and businesses online.

North Carolina residents and businesses can check for fiber availability in their area by visiting www.brightspeed.com/brightspeed-fiber-internet/ and signing up to receive alerts when service is available at their location.

Leveraging XGS-PON technology, Brightspeed is already investing $2 billion in deploying fiber technology to build a broadband internet network, reaching over three million homes and businesses across 20 states. Additionally, the company will continue pursuing state and federal broadband grant funding to augment its current fiber network build plan in North Carolina.
