With a commitment exceeding $65 million, Fastwyre aims to revolutionize internet accessibility in Eastern Nebraska, building upon its longstanding history in the area. Formerly known as Huntel and established in 1910, Fastwyre has evolved into a premier broadband provider dedicated to delivering reliable and affordable internet services.

The upgraded network, featuring fiber-to-the-premises infrastructure, is expected to be completed by early summer, promising equally fast uploads and downloads for residents and businesses alike.
Danny Pate, Fastwyre's Chief Operating Officer, highlighted the network's benefits, including symmetrical speeds, no data caps or overages, and the option to bundle services for additional savings. Fastwyre's commitment extends beyond internet provision, with a focus on community involvement and support.
As Fastwyre continues to innovate and expand its network, it remains committed to delivering high-quality communication services across multiple regions. With investments totaling close to $200 million, Fastwyre is poised to deliver even faster internet speeds and comprehensive communication solutions to communities across Missouri, Central Alabama, and Southwest/South Central Louisiana.
