We achieve this through building reliable internet networks that empower communities to use the internet in ways that work for them. We also support community efforts that build digital inclusion, elevate digital literacy, and have accessible devices for use with the internet. \\n\\nOur construction in Salt Lake City and growth into Millcreek, Holladay and elsewhere is a testament to residential desires for gigabit internet and city relationships wanting fiber optic investments in their communities. Access to fast reliable internet is so critical right now, as more and more people work from home, educate from home and even enjoy bringing their streaming entertainment online. In fact, we are so excited to have a 2 gig option for customers eligible to sign-up.
