Home Telecom wins state BroadbandNow Award

 

For the second time in two years, Home Telecom has been recognized by BroadbandNow for an Internet Service Provider Award. This year, Home Telecom is recognized as Top 5 Fastest Internet Providers in South Carolina. 

 

The awards recognize national, regional, and local internet service providers in three categories based on the population coverage area. Home Telecom falls in the mid-size category representing a coverage area of less than 4 million homes and businesses.

 

Winners are recognized for delivering outstanding products and excellent service to consumers across the United States. When customers inquire about Home Telecom products and services, they will see the BroadbandNow winners’ badge on the Home Telecom website. 

 

The BroadbandNow 2020 Internet Service Provider awards’ core mission is to be a champion for consumers in helping them find and compare local internet service providers. 

 

The data driven awards program centers around three core aspects for operational excellence — fastest average speed, customer approval, and affordability.
