United Communications to launch 8 Gig high-speed internet across Middle Tennessee

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (Nov. 7, 2024)—United Communications is set to shatter internet speed limits across Middle Tennessee by launching its new ultra-fast 8 Gig internet service. This new 8 Gig service offers outstanding reliability and unrivaled performance powered by the region’s largest fiber broadband network.

William Bradford, President and CEO of United Communications, announced the new high-speed service at the Boys & Girls Club of Bedford County in Shelbyville, Tennessee, where the company is donating its first 8-Gig internet connection.

“Whether you’re in a classroom, a conference room, or your own living room, connectivity has a major impact on our daily lives,” said Bradford. “United’s 8-Gig internet service sets a new standard for internet speed in Middle Tennessee and will put our customers well ahead of the curve as multi-gig internet demand increases.”

This 8-Gig service offers speeds 40 times faster than the average advertised U.S. download speed through a private fiber-optic connection to each customer.

With matching download and upload speeds and industry-leading 99.99% network reliability, United’s 8-Gig fiber internet is backed by the company’s 77-year history as a Middle Tennessee-based company dedicated to world-class customer service. 

United Communications has started initially activating 8-Gig connections in a phased roll-out that will eventually reach the company’s entire coverage area by the summer of 2025. The company will directly notify local residents and small businesses when it’s time to upgrade or sign up for service.

For personal and household use, 8-Gig fiber internet service is the fastest broadband connection available anywhere in Middle Tennessee. For business and enterprise customers, upgrading to 8-Gig service will significantly expand bandwidth capacity to accommodate critical applications, including virtual work environments, cloud-based information sharing, e-commerce transactions, media production, and real-time streaming. 

To get notified as soon as the 8-Gig service has arrived in your neighborhood, check United’s availability at your location by visiting united.net/service-map-page.
