Fastwyre Broadband Begins Its Initial Investment in Central Alabama Bringing Its Fiber Optic Network to the Region
25 Abril 2024 - 9:00AM
Fastwyre Broadband, a premier provider of
affordable, reliable high-speed internet delivered through a
state-of-the-art, fiber-optic network in communities across
America, is bringing one of the fastest internet experiences to the
historically underserved region of Central Alabama. This region
will now enjoy greater speed and service options, which is on par
with larger metropolitan cities.
Fastwyre is investing in upgrades to its network and service
reliability, delivering unparalleled connectivity across its
footprint and within this region. Fastwyre has a deep-rooted
history in Central Alabama as it previously operated as Moundville
Communications, which was founded nearly a century ago. The company
has evolved into Fastwyre Broadband, and it is committed to
revolutionizing internet accessibility. The Moundville region will
enjoy faster internet speeds from 1 gigabit per second with future
plans of up to 10 gigabits per second.
“Over the near-term future, we will launch high-speed internet
in addition to phone, TV and business services within the
Moundville region. We are now bringing our expertise in building
and managing robust fiber networks to the next level with the
latest technology, which will deliver top-tier connectivity to
Moundville and Central Alabama residents and businesses,” said
Chris Eldredge, CEO of Fastwyre Broadband. “Building on our
company’s deep roots, our connection to Moundville and Central
Alabama drives our investment to better serve residents and
contribute to the growth of businesses. Our customers rely on the
internet every day for work and play. Having access to reliable,
affordable, high-speed internet will empower our customers now and
into the future.”
Fastwyre’s network expansion will deploy a fiber-to-the-premises
infrastructure. The network upgrades will begin in early May and
are expected to be completed by the end of June. “Our network
enables residents and businesses to experience equally fast uploads
and downloads when streaming video or sharing multimedia files,”
says Cory Hodge, Market Manager of Fastwyre’s Central Alabama
region. “Our network speeds will create an exceptional experience
for our customers with virtual learning, agricultural technology,
telehealth, e-commerce, and entertainment at very affordable rates
- from as low as $34.99 per month with speeds up to 1 gigabit per
second.”
Community is at the heart of Fastwyre's mission, and many
Fastwyre employees are long-time residents, living and working in
the Moundville area. “We are from Moundville, for Moundville and
deeply committed to giving back to the areas we live in and serve.
We strive to be an integral part of the community through not only
delivering high-quality communication services, but by also
supporting our communities with involvement in activities and
sponsorships,” added Hodge. “Our commitment is to make a positive
impact on those we serve to ensure our communities continue to
thrive.”
Fastwyre customers enjoy the following benefits:
- Symmetrical speeds which enable equally fast uploads and
downloads of rich content.
- Reliable, high-speed, high-quality connections that allow
streaming on multiple devices.
- No data caps, overages or installation fees.
- The option to bundle high-speed internet with TV and home phone
services for additional cost savings and value.
- Business services that include hosted VoIP phone, video and
data circuit offerings with low latency to ensure high-speed
performance.
