CountryWide Broadband Acquires Full Channel Cable, to Expand Illinois Broadband Network
CountryWide Broadband Group(CWBG), a St. Louis-based broadband acquisition and management firm, has acquired Full Channel Cable of Rhode Island, a leading provider of broadband video entertainment, high-speed internet access, and telephone services to residents and businesses in Rhode Island’s East Bay area, south of Providence.
Full Channel operates a deep fiber network, currently offering up to 320 Mbps internet access on a stand-alone or bundled basis. Following the acquisition, CWBG is preparing to increase Full Channel’s internet access speeds to up to 1 Gbps and to roll out new video and telephone products.
In other news, CWBG also intends to expand i3 Broadband, a provider of internet, TV, and telephone services through a 100 percent fiber-to-the-home network in the greater Peoria and Champaign-Urbana, Illinois markets, early this year.
“With the addition of Full Channel, and by extending our network in Peoria and Champaign-Urbana, we are continuing to execute on our long-term vision of expanding our footprint and customer base,” said Grier Raclin, President and CEO of CWBG. “We are also rolling out new services to our customers, and offering them more flexible service packages.”
