Grande Acquires Centrovision

Grande Communications announced today the purchase of Centrovision, a Central-Texas cable and Internet company based out of Temple, TX. Grande already provides service to areas of Waco, Dallas, Midland, Odessa, Austin, San Marcos, San Antonio and Corpus Christi. Centrovision customers are located primarily in Bell County, TX, which includes the cities of Temple, Belton, Salado, Troy, Morgan's Point, Moody, Rogers, Little River and Pendleton.

The acquisition is intended to increase Grande's footprint in the Central-Texas region and improve services and product offerings for Centrovision customers. Once Grande engineers and construction crews complete a network upgrade, Centrovision customers will have access to Grande's higher Internet speeds (including 200 Mbps, 300 Mbps and 400 Mbps), TiVo with Netflix access, more TV channels including HD, and advanced phone service.
