Blazing-Fast Brightspeed Fiber Internet Coming to Lima, Ohio, Bringing Next-Level Speeds to Thousands

Company’s stronger connectivity fueling opportunity and connection for Allen County

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — May 15, 2025 — Brightspeed, the nation’s third-largest fiber broadband builder, is connecting thousands across Ohio to its state-of-the-art, high-speed fiber network. More than 7,000 homes and businesses in and around the city of Lima now have access to the country’s fastest internet service, as determined by HighSpeedInternet.com Annual Service Provider Review 2025, and more locations are coming online every day.

Only 38% of Ohio’s population has access to fiber-optic services, according to Broadband Now. That means more than 6 in 10 residents cannot purchase a fiber internet plan, preventing the kind of connectivity they need to thrive in today’s economy. By the end of Brightspeed’s full buildout, more than 34,000 locations across Allen County will have access to Brightspeed’s fiber network, opening up new opportunities for remote workers, families, entrepreneurs and small businesses.

With multi-gig speeds and cutting-edge technology, Brightspeed’s fiber network is designed to empower how people work, learn, live and interact today. Lima residents may soon receive a visit from one of Brightspeed’s representatives, who will be knocking on doors to spread the word about the availability of Brightspeed Fiber Internet in the area.
