“Now more than ever, staying connected is critically important,” said Jeff Small, president of Kinetic. “Our customers need connections to allow them to live, work and go to school wherever they live.”

The deployment brings gigabit speeds to approximately 6,300 homes and businesses in the area. Residential customers can take advantage of these speeds to work from home, to stream video or for gaming while safely navigating the internet with the benefit of our award-winning Kinetic Secure service. Business customers can take advantage of fiber fast speed offers together with Kinetic’s reliable voice and award-winning collaboration system, HD Meeting by OfficeSuite UC.

The project is part of a multi-year investment program to deploy in fiber and fiber-like services to communities across the Kinetic network. That investment means when internet use soared more than 30 percent earlier this year, the network was well-equipped to handle it without slowing down.

Customers can call 855.804.6925 to find out if they are eligible for a speed upgrade and how Kinetic can help meet their home or business needs.
