West Virginia's BEAD Plan 94 Percent Fiber
That's the highest among states that have posted drafts of their final spending plans.
WASHINGTON, August 19, 2025 – Reports of fiber’s demise have been greatly exaggerated – at least in West Virginia.
After redoing its spending plan, West Virginia is looking to get fiber to almost all of its eligible homes and businesses under the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program.
A draft of the state’s final proposal submission posted Tuesday shows more than 94 percent of West Virginia’s eligible locations are slated to get fiber, with the remainder to receive satellite service from Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
