Brightspeed Works to Connect Thousands of Jacksonville Residents to Future-Forward Fiber Internet

Company’s next-gen connectivity is fueling opportunity for Eastern North Carolina

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — July 10, 2025 — Brightspeed, the nation’s third-largest fiber broadband builder, is connecting thousands of homes and businesses in Eastern North Carolina to its state-of-the-art, high-speed fiber network. The company has 35,000 locations in Jacksonville under construction that will soon be fiber enabled with access to the country’s fastest internet service, as determined by HighSpeedInternet.com’s Annual Service Provider Review 2025.

According to Broadband Now, only 40% of people living in North Carolina have access to a fiber internet plan. That means that six out of ten homes and businesses in the state are missing out on the kind of connectivity they need to thrive in today’s economy. Brightspeed is set on solving this problem for families, remote workers, students, and small businesses in Onslow County. Once the full buildout is complete, approximately 60% of Jacksonville’s total population — nearly 43,000 families and small businesses — will have access to Brightspeed’s multi-gig-speed fiber internet service.

With super-fast speeds and cutting-edge technology, Brightspeed’s fiber network is designed to empower how people work, learn, live, and interact today. Residents may have the opportunity to meet with one of Brightspeed’s representatives, who are knocking on doors in Jacksonville to spread the word about the availability of Brightspeed Fiber Internet in the area.

Those who receive a visit from a Brightspeed team member should know:

• Who to expect: Fully trained Brightspeed sales representatives in company-branded attire, ready to share important information about the company’s fiber internet service plan options.
• What’s included: Information about new fiber internet services, the benefits of high-speed connectivity, and how residents can get started with Brightspeed’s commitment-free service.
• Why it matters: Brightspeed’s commitment to closing the digital divide means expanding the availability of affordable, high-quality internet to communities that lack quality connectivity options.
