Astound Broadband

Astound Broadband is a corporation providing broadband internet, telephone, and cable TV service in several San Francisco Bay Area cities. Astound is a subsidiary of WaveDivision Holdings based in Kirkland, Washington. Another WaveDivision Holdings subsidiary, Wave Broadband, provides the same services to select communities in western Washington state, as well as Cerritos, California and Ventura, California. WaveDivision Holdings claims to have over 140,000 subscribers.

In 2002, it began to offer tiered data service in a number of communities. In May 2006, the company began to offer free wireless internet service in Walnut Creek.

On August 18, 2006, RCN announced it was selling its San Francisco operations, representing 18,000 subscribers, to Astound for $45 million. The sale closed on March 13, 2007, and the former RCN San Francisco service area was transferred to Astound in June 2007.
