Socket brings fiber to west Columbia neighborhoods

Socket is proud to announce the expansion of its fiber-optic network to the Quail Creek, Georgetown and Westcliff neighborhoods in west Columbia, bringing ultra-fast internet to more than 700 additional homes.

This project is the latest in the Columbia-based provider’s efforts to bring fiber-optic technology to more Missouri homes and businesses. Socket connected its first fiber customer in 2012 and now provides service to thousands of residential and business users.

“We know many Columbia residents are eager for faster internet,” said George Pfenenger, Socket CEO and co-owner. “We’re excited to offer fiber internet, phone and TV to these neighborhoods, along with our local support.”

Construction on the expansion project is underway and is expected to be completed this fall. Socket chose to expand to these areas due to high demand from residents. To sign up or request expansion to other neighborhoods, visit www.socket.net/fiberhood.
