Helping cities build a future-friendly internet.
Technology to set your community apart.
What are the benefits of adding fiber internet to your community?
Economic Development
Businesses demand better internet connections. File sharing, cloud server connectivity, video conferencing, and other high-demand online needs can overwhelm an older internet network, bogging down productivity and costing the company valuable revenue. Fiber optic internet has the capacity, speed, and security to help businesses run more smoothly.
Drive Competition
Many communities currently only offer one internet provider for residents and businesses, pushing up prices and reducing service levels. Adding a fiber internet option can keep prices in check and offer some healthy competition where everybody wins.
Increase home values
Offering fiber internet to homeowners can increase home values by up to 3%. About one-third of homes in the United States have access to fiber internet, which makes the technology a true differentiator that buyers seek in new homes. Adding fiber internet to the city can be a financial benefit to individual homeowners and the whole community.
Attract businesses and talent
Today’s companies need fast internet to compete, whether they’re brick-and-mortar businesses or remote workers. Offering high-speed fiber internet as an option makes your community more appealing. Fiber interest offers speeds up to 65x faster than traditional internet.
