Will Helmly, President and Chief Operating Officer with Home Telecom, said the demand for technology pushed the increased speed. "With more and more connected devices in the home, our customers want and need additional bandwidth. Things like music downloads and online gaming have become popular and require faster speeds. Whether it's to stream movies, upload photos, or video chat with family and friends, we want to ensure these consumers are getting the bandwidth they need," he said.

Their wireless home networking, called MyWiFi, will be launched simultaneously. MyWiFi will allow wireless enabled devices to connect to the high speed Internet wirelessly.
