Brightspeed Fiber Expands in Georgia: Hinesville and Richmond Hill Residents Can Now Connect to Country's Fastest Internet Service* Brightspeed representatives visit neighborhoods, going door to door to share service options

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Brightspeed, the nation's third-largest fiber broadband builder empowering families and businesses with multi-gig-speed internet service, today announced that its fiber network in Georgia is 65 percent complete. Now, nearly 20,000 residents in Liberty and Bryan counties have access to the country's fastest internet service,* with nearly 31,000 fiber-enabled locations planned in those counties.

"As the representative of Georgia's first district, it's exciting to see Brightspeed's investment in high-speed internet for Hinesville and Richmond Hill and its efforts to close the digital divide," said Congressman Buddy Carter. "High-speed, reliable internet is essential to everyday life for schools, businesses and families. I strongly supported the Broadband Equity and Deployment (BEAD) program, which unlocked $1.31 billion to help expand access to quality internet services and strengthen connectivity in Georgia communities like ours."

Connecting with the community door to door

As construction continues, Brightspeed representatives are hitting the streets in Hinesville and Richmond Hill to help residents and businesses learn about fiber service and help them get connected. Residents can expect:

"We're not just building infrastructure; we're building opportunity," said Tshacha Romeo, director of sales channel at Brightspeed. "Residents and local businesses now have the tools to compete, connect and thrive. Seeing people take advantage of fiber in their own communities is the most rewarding part of our work."

Leveraging federal investments

Brightspeed's Georgia expansion is supported by $2.2 million in federal BEAD funding** that coupled with the company's private funding will augment the planned fiber build by an additional 1,227 locations, boosting the company's infrastructure investment in the state.
