Jan. 6, 2026 – Cable One is expanding its fiber holdings, combining its Clearwave joint venture with Point Broadband and acquiring another fiber provider itself.

The cable operator is an investor in both Clearwave and Point Broadband, having started the former with private equity firms in 2022. The combined company will have more than 500,000 fiber passings across 12 states, with plans to hit 1 million “in the near-term through a combination of organic builds and M&A,” according to the companies.

The combined company will be controlled by GTCR and Berkshire Partners, who already back Point Broadband, but Cable One will “remain a significant shareholder.” GTCR also helped form Clearwave.
