As announced in late December 2021, the City has entered into an agreement with Spectrum Mid-America LLC to design, install and operate high-speed broadband internet service for the residents of Wildwood. Completing the number one priority of the City’s five-year Strategic Plan, this partnership with Spectrum will deliver fiber-based, high-speed internet service to the unserved and underserved areas of Wildwood who have been waiting for this service for many years. The City is investing $6.75 million in this project - that come from recent federal stimulus funds - and the project is expected to be completed within twenty-four months.


The Internet Access Project continues to make significant progress in the City of Wildwood. This sixth update includes all sixteen (16) maps depicting the areas where Spectrum has notified the City that construction will begin for Phase 1. This update also includes the map entitled Total Project Area which denotes the entire project area for Phase 1 of the buildout as well as where each of the sixteen (16) maps falls within the total project area.  Please note that these maps are an approximation of the buildout area and may not exactly depict the boundaries of where construction begins and ends.  If you have a question as to whether your street address is included in the buildout area, please send an email to any member of the Internet Advisory Board at the email addresses noted below.  The home address is the key determinant as to which area of the Phase 1 buildout your home may be in.  

 Please also note that this project, to bring high-speed internet to the City of Wildwood, will be accomplished in two phases.  Phase 1 encompasses approximately 2,025 homes in the area noted on the map as the Total Project Area.  Construction on Phase 1 began in September 2022 and is currently anticipated to be completed by the end of February 2024.  Phase 2 is anticipated to begin shortly after the completion of Phase 1.   If you are uncertain as to whether your home is included in Phase 1, please notify the Internet Advisory Board.   If it is determined that your address is not included in Phase 1, your address will be added to the list of addresses that are expected to be included in Phase 2.  If your address is not included in Phase 1, please note that you must notify the City of your address no later than May 31, 2023 to ensure that your address is included in Phase 2.  Unfortunately, any requests received by the City after May 31, 2023 to include your address will not be included in Phase 2 of the internet buildout.   

Current estimates from Spectrum relative to the anticipated date for start of construction as well as the anticipated date for internet service from Spectrum are as follows (Note: these dates may differ from those previously provided by Spectrum due to construction delays beyond their control):

The City of Wildwood is pleased to provide this fifth update to the Spectrum internet project.  This latest update now includes Maps 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 depicting the remaining areas where Spectrum has notified the City that construction will begin for Phase 1. This update also includes the map entitled Total Project Area which denotes the entire project area for Phase 1 of the buildout as well as where each of the 16 maps falls within the total project area.  Please note that these maps are an approximation of the buildout area and may not exactly depict the boundaries of where construction begins and ends.  If you have a question as to whether your street address is included in the buildout area, please send an email to Steve Cross at the email address noted below.  The home address is the key determinant as to which area of the Phase 1 buildout your home may be in.  

 Please also note that this project, to bring high-speed internet to the City of Wildwood, will be accomplished in two phases.  Phase 1 encompasses approximately 2,025 homes in the area noted on the map as the Total Project Area.  Construction on Phase 1 began in September 2022 and is currently anticipated to be completed by the end of December 2023.  Phase 2 is anticipated to begin shortly after the completion of Phase 1.   If you are uncertain as to whether your home is included in Phase 1, please notify Steve Cross.  If it is determined that your address is not included in Phase 1, your address will be added to the list of addresses that will encompass Phase 2.  If your address is not included in Phase 1, please note that you must notify the City of your address no later than May 31, 2023 to ensure that your address is included in Phase 2.  Unfortunately, any requests received after May 31, 2023 to include your address will not be included in Phase 2 of the internet buildout.

September 1, 2022 Update

The City of Wildwood is pleased to provide this third update to the Spectrum internet project.  This update includes Map #5 which depicts the area where construction will begin in December.  Residents in this area could potentially have high-speed internet service available to them by the end of February 2023.  Also included with this update is a map of the total project area for phase one of the internet access project.  This map will help to identify the location of the five areas noted by Spectrum as the current buildout areas in relation to the total buildout area.  Please note that all homes within the shaded area labeled as “Total Area of Project” will be included in phase one of the buildout, to be completed within a twenty four month period.  Spectrum is continuing to develop the overall design plan of each location in Wildwood where they will be working and the timeframes for that work.   We will continue to share the location of each buildout area as Spectrum provides it to the City as well as an updated map of the total area of the project.  As with any project of similar scope, this timeframe is subject to change due to unforeseen construction delays.  The City will make every effort to update residents as to any changes in this schedule.

August 5, 2022 Update


The City of Wildwood is happy to announce that the start of construction for high-speed internet in Wildwood is finally here! Construction will begin in Ward One along Wild Horse Creek Road from State Route 100, as depicted on Map #1.  The Spectrum construction team estimates that work will begin in this area around the end of July 2022, and that residents in this area could reasonably expect to be able to sign up for internet service by the end of September.  The next buildout area, as noted in Map #2, is expected to begin around the end of August 2022, with service potentially available to residents around the end of October.  The third buildout area is noted in Map #3, and residents should see construction begin in this area approximately the end of September, with service availability potentially around the beginning of December.  The fourth buildout area is noted in Map #4, with construction expected to begin by December, with service availability potentially around the end of January 2023.   As with any project of similar scope, this timeframe is subject to change due to unforeseen construction delays. The City will make every effort to update residents as to any changes in this schedule.

 Spectrum is continuing to develop the overall design plan of each location in Wildwood where they will be working and the timeframes for that work.  We will continue to share the location of each buildout area as Spectrum provides it to the City.

Dear Wildwood Resident,

The City of Wildwood is happy to announce that the start of construction for high-speed internet in Wildwood is finally here.  Construction will begin in Ward One along Wild Horse Creek Road from State Route 100, as depicted on the enclosed map.  The Spectrum construction team estimates that work will begin in this area in approximately 4-5 weeks, and that residents in this area could reasonably expect to be able to sign up for internet service in approximately 4-5 months.  As with any project of similar scope, this timeframe is subject to change due to unforeseen construction delays.  The City will make every effort to update residents as to any changes in this schedule.

Spectrum is continuing to develop the overall design plan of each location in Wildwood where they will be working and the timeframes for that work.  We expect to see the complete design plan within the next couple of months and will share that information with our residents as soon as we receive it.
