At a recent meeting of the West Georgia Telecommunications Alliance Charter Communications announced plans to bring broadband services to Carrollton and parts of Carroll County.
Charter plans to complete upgrades to their network by the end of the year.
With this upgrade will begin the role out of exciting new broadband services. Starting in December, Charter will offer digital cable channels and high-speed Internet access in addition to the regular cable programming. Also, the speed of cable modems are 50 to 200 times faster than regular phone modems. The speed and persistent connection of cable modems make telecommuting much more practical than over phone modems. Broadband service offers some important benefits for local businesses as well.
