ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Feb. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WOW! Internet, Cable & Phone (NYSE: WOW), a leading broadband services provider, today announced the company is bringing its reliable, state-of-the-art all IP fiber network to residents and businesses in Seminole County, Florida.

Area residents and businesses will be pleasantly surprised by our reliable network, super-fast speeds and choice of exceptional products to meet their broadband usage needs."
Work on the new all-fiber infrastructure in Seminole County has already begun.
