A provider born from CenturyLink's legacy
Brightspeed is a US internet service provider launched in 2022, following the acquisition of CenturyLink's copper and fiber network across 20 states. Its mission: modernize and expand broadband access in rural and suburban communities that have historically been underserved.
Today, Brightspeed serves over 6.5 million homes and businesses. The provider is investing heavily in network upgrades and fiber rollout to bring faster, more reliable speeds to more customers across its footprint.
Brightspeed internet plans and services
Brightspeed offers two types of broadband: fiber and DSL. Fiber delivers fast, symmetrical upload and download speeds — ideal for streaming, remote work, and gaming.
In areas not yet reached by fiber, Brightspeed provides DSL internet over its existing copper network. Speeds are more modest, but the service remains a critical connection option for millions of customers in rural areas.
Brightspeed does not offer mobile or wireless services — its focus is exclusively on fixed broadband. For more details, visit the official Brightspeed website.
Coverage area and network expansion
Brightspeed operates across 20 US states, primarily in the South, Midwest, and Mountain West. This territory was inherited from CenturyLink, making Brightspeed one of the largest fixed broadband providers in the country by geographic coverage.
The company is actively deploying fiber within its existing service area, prioritizing communities still relying on slower DSL connections. The goal is to bring gigabit-capable fiber internet to millions of additional homes and businesses.
