With its fifth expansion into the state, Lumos will deliver ultra-fast, reliable fiber internet
to more than 226K homes, small businesses, and multifamily communities.


High Point, N.C. (August 13, 2025) – Lumos, a leading 100% Fiber Optic Internet provider and network infrastructure leader, today announced its fifth large-scale expansion in Ohio, bringing ultra-fast fiber internet to Lorain and Cuyahoga Counties. As part of this initiative, Lumos will build nearly 3,000 miles of new fiber infrastructure, delivering fast, reliable connectivity to homes, small businesses, and multifamily communities across the region.


Lumos, now part of T-Mobile Fiber, is expanding its fiber network to more than 226,000 addresses across 27 cities and communities, including Lorain, Elyria, City of Amherst, Amherst Township, Avon, Avon Lake, Lyndhurst, South Euclid, Mayfield Heights, and Cleveland Heights. The network will provide service to consumers and businesses via T-Mobile Fiber, in addition to large businesses and bulk MDU complexes which will be under the Lumos brand.


Lumos’s fiber network, used to power T-Mobile Fiber’s residential internet service, brings advanced fiber optic technology to areas built to support remote work, online learning, telehealth, and the digital tools families and businesses rely on every day.


Where the Lumos Fiber network is live today, residents can sign up with T-Mobile Fiber with plans starting at just $55/month for 500 Mbps with Fiber AutoPay and a T-Mobile voice line. All plans include unlimited data, ultra-fast symmetrical upload and download speeds, T-Mobile Tuesdays and a 5-year price guarantee (exclusions like taxes and fees apply). There are no monthly equipment fees, installation charges or annual contracts.

“At Lumos, we’re redefining what it means to be connected by bringing fast, reliable internet to communities across Ohio, not just the big cities. Everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive in today’s digital world, whether they live in a small town or a larger metro. With our network coming soon to Lorain and Cuyahoga counties, families can tap into online learning, telehealth, remote work, and more without skipping a beat,” said Lumos CEO Brian Stading.


In many of these communities, Lumos is delivering a direct fiber network for the first time—unlocking another level of speed and reliability for households and businesses. By introducing broadband competition and replacing outdated infrastructure, Lumos will help boost local economies, supporting small businesses, attracting new investment, and creating a foundation for long-term community growth.


Local leaders underscore the importance of future-ready infrastructure:

“As the City of Elyria continues to grow, we are delighted to have Lumos build high speed, state of the art fiber optic internet in our community,” said Elyria Mayor Kevin Brubaker. “We appreciate their investment so that our residents and small businesses can rely on improved connectivity to essential education, health care, commerce, and entertainment services.”


“In Lyndhurst we are enthusiastic supporters of infrastructure upgrades that expand the availability of high-speed broadband for our residents. We are excited about the Lumos investment that will be made in our city,” said Lyndhurst Mayor Patrick Ward. “This project will assure our residents have access to reliable connectivity options offering the highest speeds which will strengthen our community for residents of all ages and lifestyles.”

“There is still great demand for an affordable, reliable, high-speed fiber connection in many of our diverse neighborhoods,” said Maple Heights Mayor Annette Blackwell. “This increase of options provided by companies like Lumos in a competitive marketplace assures we can meet our current and future digital demands while serving all geographic areas of Maple Heights.”
