HTC Elevates Internet Experience with New Standard Starting Speeds of 1 Gig
With Changes, Cooperative Now Leads the Grand Strand and Pee Dee Regions with Unmatched Connectivity
April 22, 2025, Conway, S.C., – HTC, the largest telecommunications cooperative in the United States, announced a significant enhancement to its internet service offerings by establishing 1 GIG as the standard starting speed for all new members. This strategic upgrade underscores HTC’s dedication to delivering unparalleled connectivity to the communities of Horry, Georgetown and Marion counties.
The rapidly increasing necessity for high-speed, reliable internet has never been more critical. HTC’s transition up to a 1 GIG baseline ensures that members can seamlessly engage in bandwidth-intensive activities such as streaming high-definition content, participating in virtual meetings or school-related activities and utilizing telehealth services without possible interruption.
This advancement not only positions HTC as the provider of the fastest standard internet speeds along the Grand Strand and in the Pee Dee regions but also sets a new benchmark within the telecommunications industry. By proactively addressing the evolving needs of its members, HTC exemplifies a forward-thinking approach that distinguishes it from competitors.
“Our mission extends beyond providing services,” said Sandy Hendrick, HTC Marketing Manager. “By elevating our starting internet speeds, we’re empowering new members with the tools necessary to thrive in a growing digital landscape. And for existing members, the option to upgrade remains available at any time.”
This initiative is part of HTC’s broader strategy to invest in the region’s infrastructure, fostering economic growth and supporting the increasing reliance on digital connectivity in everyday life. By offering these enhanced speeds, HTC reaffirms its role as a community-focused Cooperative dedicated to delivering exceptional value.
