Fiber internet leader commemorates new market
launch with local digital divide program
CULVER CITY, Calif.,
July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/
- Ting Internet, a division of Tucows (NASDAQ: TCX)
(TSX: TC) announced today that its highly sought after fiber
internet service is now available in Culver City, California.
Unlike traditional cable internet service, fiber networks carry
higher bandwidth and are less prone to signal interference,
ultimately providing an elevated and seamless user experience. With
the rise in remote work and learning, reliable internet has never
been as important.
"We are thrilled to light up our Ting network here in
Culver City," said Jennifer Lasky, Marketing Manager, Ting
Internet. "We know first-hand the benefits that reliable internet
can bring to a community. Ting is the first fiber option in
Culver City and this
infrastructure will be a vital advancement for the community."
As part of the Culver City
launch, Ting is introducing a community program designed to combat
the local digital divide. This program was developed in partnership
with the Culver City municipal
team and will provide free internet access to affordable housing
units across 17 properties in the city.
"We fundamentally believe that the internet should be accessible
to everyone, regardless of circumstance," said Monica Webb, Head of Market Development, Ting
Internet. "This is exactly why we include a digital divide program
in every community we work in. While we're thrilled to be
announcing our presence in Culver
City, we are equally delighted to announce that we are
working with the city to provide just over 300 affordable housing
units with Ting Internet, at no cost to them."
Ting's mission is to bring the speed and reliability of true
gigabit fiber-optic internet, opening new opportunities for
communities across the United
States. There are currently four markets across California with access to Ting Internet:
Culver City, Encinitas, Fullerton and Solana
Beach.
Ting will continue to expand its serviceable neighborhoods in
Culver City throughout the rest of
2021. Locals can now visit ting.com/culvercity to get more
information and search their address to either order or pre-order
Ting Internet.
Pricing for Ting's symmetrical gigabit fiber internet starts at
$89 per month for home internet
service and $139 per month for
business gigabit internet. Enterprise internet service levels,
installations and pricing are customized to business needs and can
be discussed with the Ting Internet Enterprise team.
