At Upcountry Fiber, we believe that every home, business, and farm deserves access to fast, reliable broadband no matter how rural the road or remote the community. Connectivity is no longer a luxury; it’s essential for education, healthcare, small business, and daily life. Our mission has always been clear: to close the digital divide across the Upstate and deliver the broadband experience our customers deserve.

Today, our network spans more than 3,500 miles of fiber, serving 24,000 customers and passing over 40,000 addresses. Each connection represents a step toward a more connected, empowered region, one where families can learn, farmers can compete, and businesses can grow. But our work is far from finished. Through the end of 2026, we’re investing heavily in expanding our reach, adding another 1,000 miles of fiber across the Upstate, including major new projects in northwestern Anderson County, northern Greenville County, and central Pickens County.

These efforts represent more than construction projects; they are investments in people and communities. The most intensive work ahead centers on our large-scale initiative spanning northwestern Anderson County and central Pickens County, where we plan to construct approximately 500 miles of new fiber. This expansion will be a major focus into early 2026, further extending reliable, high-speed broadband to areas that have long been underserved.

We’re also preparing for a significant project in northern Greenville County, where an additional 150 miles of new fiber – supported by a $7.5 million investment – will bring fast, dependable broadband to even more families and businesses. Each new connection brings us closer to our goal: ensuring that no corner of our Upstate community is left without access to the opportunities that connectivity provides.

But for us, expanding access isn’t just about laying fiber; it’s about delivering a broadband experience designed around real lives. We are more than a pipeline; we are a partner in connection. From outdoor WiFi extenders that keep you connected across your property to enhanced network security that safeguards your data, our services are built to fit the way you live, work, and play.

We’re also continuing to expand our suite of security and support services. Whether it’s protecting families online, enabling parents to manage screen time, or ensuring local businesses can operate with confidence, we’re committed to making connectivity both powerful and safe. Every service we offer is grounded in value, helping our customers make the most of their connection, without compromise.

As we look ahead, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made, and even more excited about what’s to come. Every new mile of fiber represents more than just infrastructure; it represents access, opportunity, and growth for the communities we serve. Together, we’re building more than a network; we’re building the future of rural broadband in the Upstate.

Because for us, connectivity isn’t just about speed. It’s about bringing the world home, one family, one farm, and one community at a time.
