What connects Tifton, Omega, Lenox, Adel, Valdosta, Moultrie, and Thomasville?
Georgia Public Web’s 3,000 miles of fiber optic cable, plus wireless last mile.

Who is Georgia Public Web?

Georgia Public Web is a member owned non-profit corporation formed
in 1998 to help “Bridge Georgia’s Digital Divide” by delivering
high-end technology services to metro Atlanta and communities
throughout the State of Georgia.

That emphasis on metro Atlanta is unfortunate from a south Georgia
point of view, yet their map extends right down here.

“High-speed Internet access”; how fast is that?

Internet Connectivity for Business (DS-1, DS-3, OC-3, OC-12, GigE)

That means
(roughly) 1.544 Mbps, 44.7 Mbps, 155 Mbps, 622 Mbps, or 1,000 Mbps.
Sounds great, compared to 6 Mbps max from AT&T DSL!

What’s it cost?

GPW offers businesses attractive and highly flexible pricing plans.

Oh, it’s expensive.
And it’s tailored for businesses.
Still, this could be one of the sources of bandwidth for building
ambient connectivity.
