Home Telecom Announces Expansion of Gigabit Internet - Connection Speed Available to Only 3% in the Country.
Lightning fast Internet, buffer-free streaming video, online gaming with no lag, and transferring large files instantly are among the benefits now available over Home Telecom’s Velocity fiber network. Over 15,000 residential homes and 9.000 businesses in Home Telecom Velocity fiber areas are now able to receive 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) Internet.
“We believe you should have access to the the most advanced communication services whether you choose to live in a large city, a suburban area or rural community ,” says Will Helmly, President and COO of Home Telecom, whose company is now announcing access to Gigabit speed Internet for all of their Velocity fiber customers located throughout the Charleston region. These areas consist of over 40 neighborhoods that began in Nexton and now include Brickhope, Carnes, Cane Bay Plantation, Daniel Island, Fairlawn, Foxbank, , Oak Terrace Preserve, Summers Corner and Sophia Landing to name a few. Today, only 3% of residents and businesses in the nation have access to gigabit Internet speeds. And now, Home Telecom Velocity fiber customers are a part of that elite group.
In 2004, Home Telecom was one of the first companies in the southeastern United States to deploy a fiber-to-the-home network, and in 2012 they were honored with a Calix® Innovation Award for using fiber to drive local economic development. In 2013, Home Telecom became the first telecommunications company to offer Gigabit speeds in South Carolina, providing gigabit service in Nexton®; the technology-focused master planned development located near Summerville.
“Our Velocity communities already benefit from future-proof fiber infrastructure. With the launch of Home Telecom’s Velocity Gigabit, the Low Country is not only an amazing place to live for the culture, friendliness and food, but it now also has the best technology experience available anywhere. Access to Gigabit Internet speed makes the Low Country a perfect place to open a traditional business, have a virtual business or to work at home in one of the most beautiful areas in the nation,” notes Helmly.
