C Spire wireless customers are seeing faster speeds and broader cellular coverage across our footprint, thanks to network engineers and technicians working diligently to bring new cell sites online and enhance existing sites with 5G and premium LTE.
Recent enhancements include rural areas throughout Mississippi such as Greene County along state Hwy. 57 between the towns of Leakesville and McLain.
“Continual investment in our wireless network keeps our customers connected to their families and friends, jobs, and emergency services,” says Alan Jones, chief network officer at C Spire. “These network enhancements in rural Greene County will ensure those connections remain robust for our customers.”

- Macedonia, improving coverage in northeastern Forrest County and southern Jones County
- Fernwood in Pike County, between McComb and Magnolia
- Along Standard Dedeaux Road in Hancock County
- Purvis in Lamar County
- Goodman in Holmes County
- Hollandale in Washington County
