Areas including Moss Bluff, Cameron Parish, Carlyss, DeRidder, Elizabeth, Grand Lake, Leesville, Oakdale, Pitkin, Sugartown and Westlake will enjoy faster, more reliable and super affordable internet with speeds from 2 gigabits up to 10 gigabits per second, which surpasses those of nearby city hubs, ensuring unparalleled connectivity for years to come.“At Fastwyre Broadband, we have an unwavering commitment to deliver top-tier connectivity at exceptionally affordable rates to ensure our customers thrive in the digital age,” said Chris Eldredge, CEO of Fastwyre Broadband. "Our deep-rooted history in Louisiana, dating back to 1928 when our predecessor company ‘Cameron Communications’ was founded, fills us with immense pride as we continue to serve residents and contribute to the growth of businesses in this vibrant region. This connection drives our investment of over $65 million to expand and fortify our fiber optic infrastructure to digitally empower local communities for decades into the future.”
