CLEVELAND, Nov. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- WOW! Internet, Cable & Phone (NYSE: WOW), a leading broadband and communications service provider, continues to make progress in its quest to bring high-speed Internet service to Cleveland-area communities in which 1 Gig speeds were previously unavailable.

Before the end of the year, WOW! will provide the fastest Internet speeds available to Willowick and Mayfield Heights, performing at 10x the speeds offered by current providers in the area. At these speeds and with the appropriate equipment, WOW! customers can download an HD movie in 36 seconds or 25 songs in one second.

WOW!'s expansion efforts between now and the end of the year, will bring 1 Gig speeds to more than 17,000 residents in northeast Ohio, and will provide consumers with more competitive Internet, cable and phone provider options.

WOW!'s services will be available to the following Ohio cities by the end of 2018:

Lyndhurst
Mayfield Heights
Willowick
Wickliffe

"Access to fast and reliable Internet is a key component to fueling the growth and connectivity of our smaller communities," said Greg Argetsinger, WOW!'s vice president of operations for Cleveland and Columbus. "Our goal is to deliver an exceptional customer experience by providing 1 Gig speeds to customers so they can browse, stream, game and conduct business at the fastest speeds available today."

These four communities will have access to WOW!'s 1 Gig fiber-to-the-neighborhood Internet speeds, the fastest available today, along with WOW!'s Whole Home WiFi, which provides customers a custom, scalable network to stream, work and browse from every corner of their home.

WOW! residential services are easily bundled to provide the fastest Internet speeds with the TV and phone packages best suited to each customer's needs. WOW! offers three residential Internet speeds: Internet 100 – up to 100Mbps, Internet 500 – up to 500Mbps and Internet 1000, WOW!'s offering with speeds up to 1Gbps – the fastest residential speed in WOW!'s bundles.
