RIDGELAND, Miss. (July 10, 2024) –

C Spire, a diversified telecommunications and technology services company, announces the launch of home fiber internet in Columbia. More than 2,700 residents will soon have the choice of C Spire’s ultra-fast fiber in Columbia.

Fiber construction is already underway in the first of 14 neighborhoods in Columbia. And C Spire crews are set to start construction in another five neighborhoods before the year’s end.

“C Spire is committed to providing Columbia with the latest technology,” said Toby DuBois, general manager of home services for C Spire. “High-speed internet is vital for residents and businesses to compete. We are excited to work with Columbia to bring dependable connectivity to more Mississippians.”

With C Spire fiber, there are no data caps, long-term contracts, or cancellation fees. Plans for up to 300 Mbps start at $60, and residents of Columbia can check availability for C Spire fiber in their area by visiting www.cspire.com/fiber.
