Summary

  • Rockville now has SC Broadband’s gig fiber network live, while the buildout in Virgin has begun connecting its first homes.
  • Up to 8-gig speeds and symmetrical plans are central to the launch, targeting residents and businesses that had faced years of limited internet options.
  • Whole-Home Wi-Fi is included with every plan, and the fiber network is pitched as staying reliable during bad weather and peak-traffic periods.
  • The expansion extends the same service SC Broadband already offers across Southern Utah and northern Arizona into two smaller towns often overlooked by larger providers.
