Broadband Expansion
Madison County is working in partnership with All Points Broadband to help fund construction of a fiber-to-the-home broadband network to bring internet access to approximately 5,554 unserved residents and businesses in rural parts of our County. All Points Broadband will be using the collected data to begin to apply for grants on behalf of Madison County to support construction of the all fiber network to expand broadband access to every citizen in Madison County.
Location Eligibility
- Approximately 5,554 addresses are included in the project.
- If an address is currently served by another wired provider (such as Spectrum, AT&T, Windstream or Metronet) today, it is not eligible for this project.
