MANCHESTER, N.H., Aug. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consolidated Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSL) today announced the company has made available 1 Gig broadband services to more than 86,000 New Hampshire residential and small business locations. The enhanced service will use the company’s new Fiber–To-The-Premises (FTTP) technology to significantly increase broadband speeds and on-demand video capabilities for customers.
“We’re delivering on our commitment to bring Internet speeds that are among the fastest in the nation to New Hampshire residents,” said Rob Koester, vice president of consumer product management at Consolidated Communications. “1 Gig broadband Internet access will provide residents a wider selection of services and programming, as well as give them the speeds they need to enjoy the latest in streaming video applications or virtual reality. Businesses will get a boost by being able to take full advantage of cloud-based applications. We’re delighted to deliver all of these benefits and more by improving the broadband experience for these communities.”
Fiber Internet services offer faster, highly reliable, broadband connectivity and give customers symmetrical speeds with the ability to connect multiple devices without sacrificing speed. Fiber 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.
Installation dates are available now for New Hampshire residents and businesses in Atkinson, Bedford, Danville, Epping, Exeter, Hampton, Hampton Falls, Hudson, Kensington, Litchfield, Londonderry, Newton, Newfields, Nottingham, Plaistow, Salem, Stratham and Windham.
