Rural communities across Mississippi have been high on C Spire’s network enhancement priority list lately, and recent macro cell updates are bringing broader coverage and higher speeds for C Spire customers in two additional communities.

Residents of Copiah County west of Hazlehurst, especially near Old Port Gibson Road, as well as those near the community of Tinsley in Yazoo County are the latest to see new enhancements to the C Spire network.

C Spire engineers constantly monitor customer usage and patterns and proactively add speed, capacity and coverage enhancements through micro and macro cell sites to stay ahead of customer needs.

The C Spire network team racked up more than 500 enhancements to the cellular network in 2022 and 2023, a nearly $150 million investment. These 5G and LTE deployments are part of a $1 billion investment in expanding our network and the fiber infrastructure that powers our wireless towers.
