Monthly roundup of news from Lantana as published in The Cross Timbers Gazette.
Depending on which Lantana subdivision you live in, your choice of broadband providers are Astound Broadband and/or Frontier Communications. That will change by next spring.
Charter Communications is building a fiber-optic network in Lantana to offer its Spectrum TV, internet, and phone service to residents. We spoke with Michael Valentin, Spectrum Area Vice President of Field Operations for more information about the rollout.
Will all of Lantana be built out? Yes, all of Lantana will be part of our buildout. The Lantana neighborhood is part of a larger buildout Spectrum has planned for the Denton area.
What is the timeline for buildout in Lantana? Our teams are set to begin construction this fall and plan to connect nearly 700 homes in Lantana by the end of the year. The bulk of this expansion effort will be completed by spring 2025 as our teams work to connect more than 3,000 additional homes/small businesses in the area.
What services will be available to residents? Once complete, Spectrum’s fiber-optic network will deliver gigabit internet speeds to residential and small business customers, and all Spectrum internet plans have no modem fees, data caps or contracts. Spectrum will also offer money-saving mobile offerings and a wide variety of TV options, all backed by a team of local technicians and 100% in-house and U.S. based customer service.
Are there any promotions for Lantana residents to take advantage of? Customers will be notified when construction is complete, and we’ll work with them to find the right service package to fit their needs. New customers may qualify for promotional pricing.
