Speeds Available Up to 1G In Areas of County Sponsored by SCRTC:
Glasgow, KY - June 2023 – Fiber optic infrastructures for broadband communication services in rural communities across the United States have become a priority for state and federal governments over the past few years. In June of 2022, South Central Rural Telecommunications Cooperative (SCRTC) was awarded grant funding to invest in Edmonson County. Construction officially began on March 13th, 2023 and should be completed in late fall/early winter of 2023. The goal has been to deploy fiber optic services to as much of the county as possible. To give people an idea where service is already available in Edmonson County, and which areas are pending construction, SCRTC has created a Google map of the county that is accessible online at scrtc.com/edmonson. This map shows two areas. Violet territories are currently serviceable by SCRTC. The territories marked in red are under construction as of the middle of March. Even though it is difficult to predict a specific timeframe when new areas will be ready for installation, SCRTC hopes to be able to provide those residences and businesses in the red territories with broadband service by the end of this year. This Google map is searchable and allows people to zoom in on their home or business to check for availability. While visiting the map on SCRTC’s website, browse the available service offerings including broadband internet. SCRTC offers packages including 300 Mbps (Megabits per second) symmetrical internet, up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit per second). “Symmetrical” speed indicates the download speed is the same as the upload speed. "Digital TV through My Stream TV, traditional land-line telephone service, and an array of residential and business solutions are also part of what SCRTC can offer," a released statement from the company said. "To sign up for service, or for questions about your specific location and availability, please call SCRTC at (270) 678-2111. A customer service representative will be glad to assist you." SCRTC (Smart Rural Community) - South Central Rural Telecommunications Cooperative and its communities throughout the eleven counties it serves is nationally recognized as a Smart Rural Community. This designation was earned through the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association (NTCA – ntca.org). SCRTC is proud to label itself with this recognition for the communities it serves.
