In October 2026, C Spire expanded its The One Plan service to include 500,000 additional Mississippi households. This expansion integrates 5G home internet into the company's existing bundle of wireless and fiber services.
Why it matters
The move allows C Spire to reach customers outside of its current fiber-optic infrastructure footprint, which currently passes 497,000 locations. By leveraging 5G, the company intends to capture market share in regions where physical fiber deployment remains logistically challenging or costly.
The One Plan carries a $99 monthly fee and includes an Inseego 5G Wavemaker FX3110 router capable of supporting up to 64 simultaneous device connections. For comparison, AT&T and Verizon charge $90 and $70 per month for home internet, respectively.
The players
C Spire
A Mississippi-based telecommunications provider managing a 1-million-customer base across wireless, fiber, and 5G segments.
Inseego
The manufacturer of the 5G Wavemaker FX3110 router used to deliver home connectivity in the expanded service footprint.
The details
C Spire achieves this expanded coverage by bundling wireless, fiber, and 5G home internet into a single subscription. The company recently upgraded its network infrastructure to increase capacity, enabling the inclusion of 5G connectivity for users who lack access to the company's dedicated fiber lines. The service utilizes the Inseego 5G Wavemaker FX3110—a wireless gateway that acts as a bridge between cellular 5G signals and a local Wi-Fi network for home devices.
Timeline
2013: C Spire began offering fiber internet.
May 2026: C Spire started bundling wireless and fiber services.
October 2026: C Spire announced the expansion of 5G home internet availability.
The Tech Race
C Spire is positioning its regional service expansion as a direct counter-strategy to the national reach of the Big Three carriers, which serve a combined 409 million customers. The move follows over a decade of fiber-focused infrastructure development that began in 2013.
Residents in the newly covered 500,000 households can now access a bundled service plan that includes a five-year price guarantee. This $99 monthly commitment covers the provided 5G hardware, which is designed to replace traditional cable or DSL connections.
The takeaway
C Spire is shifting from a primarily fiber-reliant network model to a hybrid approach to maintain growth against national competitors. Potential subscribers should track local availability updates in their specific county as the company continues its 5G network rollout.
