Announcing Amazing New Speeds and Lower Rates from FairlawnGig | FairlawnGig

When we envisioned the concept of fiber broadband connections to our entire community, forecasting consultants told us we should expect to top out at a 35% take rate. We were happy with these modest predictions at the time because that would mean profitability and the ability to easily pay our bonds back.

Five years into offering FairlawnGig internet service, we’ve almost doubled even the most optimistic take rate predictions as 68% of community homes and businesses today rely on FairlawnGig for their internet service.

For communities across the US, we hope our success inspires you to bring great internet service to your communities. For our own customers, we’re announcing today that we are now providing even better and faster service, for less! One gigabit upload AND download speeds for $55/month is just the beginning.
