Building Beyond the Network: Expanding Access and Elevating the Broadband Experience

At the heart of our mission lies a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves access to reliable, high-quality broadband, no matter where they live. In rural America, where distance and terrain often create barriers to connectivity, our goal is to close those gaps and bring the digital world within reach of every home, business, and farm.

Today, our network spans more than 7,500 miles of fiber, reaching roughly 100,000 addresses across the Upstate. And we’re not slowing down. Through the end of 2026, we plan to add another 1,000 miles of new fiber, representing an $80 million investment in both West Carolina and Upcountry Fiber build-outs. This expansion is about more than infrastructure; it’s about building opportunity, strengthening communities, and ensuring that rural families and businesses can thrive in a connected world.

Our construction strategy continues to focus on areas where broadband access can make the greatest difference. In the West Carolina footprint, we saw meaningful gains this past year in the communities of Honea Path, Belton, and Williamston, areas where connectivity has become a catalyst for local growth. For Upcountry Fiber, progress surged across southern Oconee County, bringing service to Westminster, Oakway, and Fairplay, as well as northwestern Pickens County, including Six Mile and Pickens.

We’re also working to connect new areas, including portions of Abbeville and McCormick counties, where 15 miles of fiber construction – supported by a $1.2 million investment – is underway. Looking ahead, we’ll launch a major new project in 2026: an extension of 150 miles of fiber in northern Greenville County, backed by a $7.5 million investment. And one of our largest efforts yet will center on northwestern Anderson County and central Pickens County, where we’re planning approximately 500 miles of new fiber construction, a cornerstone of our expansion into early 2026.

But our mission goes beyond laying fiber. We’re not just a broadband pipeline; we deliver a complete broadband experience, tailored to fit your life. Whether you’re running a family farm, working from home, or streaming your favorite shows, we provide solutions that enhance how you connect. From outdoor WiFi extenders that keep you connected across your property to advanced security tools that protect your devices and personal data, our services are designed to bring peace of mind and convenience to every household.

We’re also building onto our suite of security services, offering customers added layers of digital protection and parental controls, because we believe that a great broadband connection should be fast, secure, and dependable. Every part of our offering is built around value, helping families, students, and businesses make the most of their connection without compromise.

As we continue to grow, one thing remains constant: our commitment to bridging the digital divide. Every new mile of fiber represents more than progress — it represents access, opportunity, and inclusion. Together, we’re connecting communities, empowering families, and ensuring that rural America is not left behind in the digital age.

Because for us, connectivity isn’t just about speed. It’s about bringing the world home, one connection at a time.
