854 Addresses Gain Access to Comporium’s Multi-Gig Broadband Network

More than 850 homes and businesses in York and Chester Counties (SC) have gained access to Comporium’s fiber-based multi-Gigabit internet service. Comporium recently placed over 64 miles of fiber-optic network to reach addresses in and around McConnells, Catawba, Clover, York, and Edgemoor. These projects required almost $5.2 million of investment to extend the company’s fiber-optic network. They provide customers with access to internet speeds of up to 5 Gigabits per second and will improve the quality of life significantly in rural areas. Comporium combined its own private investment and state-issued funds from the American Rescue Plan Act, made possible by funding from the South Carolina Broadband Office. This joint funding approach ensures that the company reaches the maximum number of addresses possible with its state-of-the-art network. Comporium continues to work with state and federal agencies to find ways to extend or upgrade service to more rural customers.
