Faster internet is coming!
We are proud and excited to begin offering high-speed, fiber internet service to our LREC members in 2020. Under the name RiverNet Connect, we will provide reliable and affordable internet service to the rural communities we serve.
Fiber optic internet will bring a new standard of rural broadband to Lancaster, Chesterfield, and Kershaw counties. With fiber, data can be sent up to 1,000 times faster than traditional copper and the service can reach Gigabit (1000 Mbps) speeds and beyond. The network won’t slow down when streaming on multiple devices or because more people are connected during certain times of the day.
Below is a list of the most commonly asked questions regarding fiber internet service from RiverNet Connect. As always, it has been our mission to serve you, our members, to the best of our abilities.
