Ting Internet to bring gigabit fiber Internet to Wake Forest, NC
February 05 2019 - 6:00AM
Ting, a division of Tucows (NASDAQ: TCX, TSX: TC) is pleased to
announce that Wake Forest will be the next town to get crazy fast
fiber Internet from Ting. Residents can pre-order now.
With established markets and operations in nearby Holly Springs
and Fuquay-Varina, Ting’s expansion into Wake Forest will benefit
from its local brand strength and operational synergies. Once
completed, it will also add approximately 10,000 serviceable
addresses to Ting’s North Carolina footprint.
Ting Internet’s mission is to bring true gigabit fiber Internet
with an unparalleled customer experience to cities and towns across
America. Ting is building the infrastructure of the future: a
gigabit fiber network extending to every customer. That means every
home or business address connected to the Ting fiber network has
its own fiber optic connection into the premises, enabling every
user in a home or business to experience lightning fast, low
latency, highly reliable Internet access.
“Increasingly, we see that cities and municipalities are looking
for better Internet options for their residents and businesses
because the incumbents aren’t stepping up,” said Tucows CEO Elliot
Noss. “Fiber is the technology that will power smart cities for the
next hundred years.”
In 2015, Ting announced it would bring fiber Internet to Holly
Springs, NC, and in 2018 Ting named Fuquay-Varina as the next “Ting
Town” in the greater Raleigh, NC area. The charming town of Wake
Forest will be the third Ting Internet town in North Carolina, and
the seventh in the country.
“Ting Internet is proud to be expanding into the Town of Wake
Forest, which has so many of the qualities we look for in a Ting
Town,” added Noss. “It’s a future-focused community with an
entrepreneurial spirit and a strong focus on education and
progress. It’s a place where community leaders value the importance
of fiber infrastructure and all the benefits it will bring to their
constituents.”
Indeed, Ting’s build in Wake Forest would not be possible
without the leadership and enthusiasm of the Town.
“Wake Forest is a growing community comprised of
highly-educated, globally-connected residents that rely on
high-speed communication to meet their ever-changing needs,” said
Wake Forest Mayor, Vivian Jones. “We are extremely excited to
welcome Ting to Wake Forest and look forward to experiencing the
crazy fast speed and reliability fiber optic service delivers.”
Ting expects to light its first customers in Wake Forest this
summer.

Internet now at ting.com/wakeforest. A one-time $9 pre-order is
