C Spire on Dec. 28 announced completion of its acquisition of Troy Cablevision, Inc., including Union Springs Telephone Company, Inc.

Finalizing the agreement and receiving the necessary regulatory approvals allows C Spire to meet the growing need for broadband access and other information technology services for consumers and businesses in Alabama's Wiregrass region, the provider said in a statement.

In 2021, C Spire announced plans to invest $500 million over the next three years to accelerate the deployment of fiber-optic internet in markets across Alabama.

The provider has constructed and is offering fiber services in thirteen markets currently in the state.

C Spire CEO Hu Meena commented:

"We've made it a major priority to invest in and expand fiber-based network deployment and enhancements throughout Alabama, and we're pleased to be providing these services in the Wiregrass. Our commitment to local customers remains, and we intend to offer the same level of hometown service Troy Cablevision has been known to provide. I am thrilled to welcome our Troy Cablevision and Union Springs Telephone Company associates to C Spire. I know we all share the simple goal of working together and serving our customers and our local community."

Founded in 1985, Troy Cablevision, Inc. has provided cable TV, internet, fiber broadband, and other services to business and residential customers in Alabama's Pike, Coffee, Crenshaw, and Dale counties. The company is headquartered in Troy and operates regional offices in Elba, Enterprise, Luverne and Ozark.
