Comporium connects more homes to fiber network in rural Lancaster County with $475,000 investment

January 24, 2024

LANCASTER, SC – Dozens of residents in two rural parts of Lancaster County recently gained access to Comporium’s fiber-based services. These most recent improvements gave customers along the state line access to internet speeds up to one gigabit per second.

The completed projects required over $475,000 of investment and will improve the quality of life for 79 homes and businesses. Comporium combined its own private investment with state grant funds to complete this project. This approach ensured that the company could reach the maximum number of addresses with its network.

“Our partnership with the South Carolina Broadband Office continues to allow us to reach these really rural addresses,” stated Comporium Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Matthew Dosch. “We are now rolling out 2Gbps services in select fiber areas and plan to make 5Gbps available in the coming months.”

Comporium continues to work with state and federal agencies to find ways to upgrade service to rural customers. Recent upgrades were the result of American Rescue Plan Act and Rural Broadband grants. These were made possible through funding from the South Carolina Department of Commerce and administered by the South Carolina Broadband Office within the Office of Regulatory Staff.

Residents and businesses in Lancaster County may place an order and schedule installation appointments through Comporium’s website at www.comporium.com.
