Boiling Spring Lakes, NC – FOCUS Broadband announced that the company has completed a $9 million-dollar project to replace the aging copper network in Boiling Spring Lakes with a new fiber optic network. Residents and businesses in Boiling Spring Lakes now have access to high-speed Internet with speeds of up to 1 Gigabit as well as digital cable TV and home telephone services.

“We are excited to announce the completion of the FOCUS fiber optic upgrade in Boiling Spring Lakes,” said Keith Holden, FOCUS Broadband CEO. “FOCUS Broadband is proud to offer fiber optic service that will further enhance the town of Boiling Spring Lakes and allow more than 3,000 residents and businesses access to reliable, high-speed internet.”

In addition to the Boiling Spring Lakes upgrade, FOCUS Broadband crews are nearing completion of a project to bring fiber optic service to the beachfront area of Oak Island and the cooperative has made speeds of up to 1 Gig available for many cable modem (DOCSIS) plant customers in the communities of Seaside, Calabash and inland areas of Holden Beach. Gigabit service for other areas near Shallotte, Supply and Bolivia will be available later this fall. These upgrades are part of the cooperative’s multi-year, $100 million dollar project, aimed at improving services and bringing faster speeds to customers throughout Brunswick County.
