Kinetic is working to upgrade half a million homes across the country
Kinetic, a Windstream company, announced a $24 million investment to enhance its fiber-optic network across Texas, aiming to deliver multi-gigabit internet speeds to more than 21,000 residential and business customers.
This upgrade will enable internet speeds up to 2 Gbps for qualified customers, particularly benefiting those in Sugar Land, where 1,500 customers are expected to experience these enhanced speeds.
"With Kinetic fiber, speeds just keep getting better," said Danny Ferguson, Kinetic’s regional president for Texas. "This hardware upgrade will enhance our customer’s experience and ready them for a smart-home future that we believe will have more devices connected to more data processing than ever before."
Multi-gig internet is designed to support modern digital lifestyles, offering seamless 4K/8K streaming, smooth online gaming, efficient data transfers, and reliable connectivity for multiple devices. It's particularly beneficial for applications requiring high bandwidth and low latency, such as telehealth services, remote work, and smart agriculture technologies.
The initiative is part of Kinetic's broader strategy to double internet speeds for over half a million homes and businesses within its 18-state service area. By the end of 2025, the company anticipates that 85% of its fiber network will support multi-gig speeds, reflecting its commitment to meeting the growing demand for high-speed internet.
