Re-branding

In summer 2019, Cable One, Inc re-branded themselves as Sparklight.[3] Cable One units are still used by customers that were Cable One customers before Cable One turned into Sparklight. Cable One's original website, cableone.net, now redirects to sparklight.com. Before, cableone.net redirected to a page saying that Cable One was now Sparklight, although home.cableone.net is still up. Although Sparklight is direct fiber, numerous complaints about drops in their service and underperforming speeds have been the center of controversy.
