More than 75% of Jasper homes now qualify for Kinetic’s “Gig-Ready Community” label, extending next-generation internet access to over 2,700 locations in the Florida city.
The designation follows Kinetic’s fiber-network expansion in Hamilton County, aimed at improving connectivity for remote work, education, streaming and telehealth.
Kinetic said fiber-connected communities can see 213% higher business growth, 10% higher self-employment and 14% to 17% higher home values, framing the buildout as an economic-development project.
The Jasper milestone also supports Kinetic’s broader Florida push as the Uniti unit expands service to more homes and businesses after winning CNET’s 2026 Best Rural Fiber Provider award.
