Everything we do is with connection in mind. More connection means more opportunity and more possibility for cities, counties and states across the country.
In California, we invested nearly $14.4 billion in our network infrastructure from 2019-2023 to connect more people to greater possibility. We’re working to expand access to broadband to as many residents as possible.
Here’s the latest on how we’re making it happen.
