Consolidated Communications Revs Up Internet Speeds to 1 Gig for Derry, New Hampshire, Residents and Small Businesses
May 06 2019 - 9:00AM
Consolidated Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSL) today announced
the company is launching 1 Gig broadband services to nearly 10,000
Derry, N.H., residents and small businesses. The enhanced service
will use the company’s new Fiber–To-The-Premises (FTTP) technology
and will significantly increase the town’s broadband speeds and
on-demand capabilities.
“We’ve revved up our Internet service for Derry and are excited
to bring users among the fastest qualified speeds in the nation,”
said Rob Koester, vice president of consumer product management at
Consolidated Communications. “1 Gig broadband Internet access will
deliver a wider selection of services and programming, and also has
the potential to transform the quality of Derry residents’ lives.
It will give residents the speeds they need to enjoy the latest in
streaming video applications or virtual reality and help businesses
more efficiently access the cloud. We’re thrilled to deliver all of
these benefits and more by improving the broadband experience for
this community.”
Fiber Internet services offer faster, highly reliable, broadband
connectivity that gives customers symmetrical speeds and the
ability to connect multiple devices without sacrificing speed.
Fiber also supports gaming and uploading high-resolution photos
with minimal buffering or waiting. It also allows people to work
from home using a reliable connection that supports remote access
and video conferencing, to create and upload high-bandwidth content
and to take advantage of smart-home devices.
“The Town of Derry Planning and Economic Development offices are
very pleased that Consolidated Communications has increased
Internet speeds to 1 Gig,” said Elizabeth Robidoux, Planning &
Economic Development Assistant for the Town of Derry. “The upgrade
will allow business owners to provide services more efficiently,
and give both business and residential customers the benefit of
faster online transactions.”
Derry customers now have access to the latest, on-demand
streaming content, including HBO NOW®, DIRECTV NowSM, fuboTV and
Philo. They also may use the
company’s MyCCIAccount.com portal to place new orders and
upgrade services online.
Last year, the company completed a significant broadband upgrade
project delivering faster speeds to 500,000 residents and small
businesses throughout Northern New England. Upgraded homes and
businesses are now able to get speeds two to three times faster
than what was previously available. Customers can read more about
the company’s progress in Northern New England by visiting its
