Monday, May 18th, 2026
Kinetic today announced a major broadband expansion in Georgia, delivering multi-gig fiber internet to more than 20,000 additional homes and businesses across more than 120 communities in the first quarter of 2026. The expansion highlights Kinetic’s commitment to deliver better technology, at a better value, for customers.
Georgia’s is experiencing rapid growth in the tech sector, helping to fuel the state’s economy. Kinetic’s growing fiber network, with 99.95% reliability, can help support this next tech-focused chapter, as well as enhance work, school, streaming, and everyday life for residents.
“Everything was spot on, from the beginning of signing up to the installation and burying of the cables. We love Kinetic! I would highly recommend Kinetic to everyone that is looking to get fiber internet,” said Mike Maslak, a Kinetic customer in Valdosta.
In the first quarter of 2026, Kinetic added fiber locations in more than 120 Georgia towns including Abbeville, Blairsville, Canton, Dalton, Fitzgerald, Homer, Lafayette, Rincon, Trion, Valdosta, Winder, and more. A portion of these locations were built with the support of American Rescue Plan Act funding in partnership with the counties and the State of Georgia.
To date, more than 398,000 locations across the Peach State have access to Kinetic’s high-speed, next-generation connectivity.
Research shows that fiber-connected communities experience 213% higher business growth, 10% higher self-employment and a 14-17% increase in home values. Fiber is also significantly more sustainable and uses up to 95% less energy per gigabit. It requires less maintenance over time, which reduces environmental impacts and community disruptions.
“Fiber is powering the next generation of opportunity, and as more of our daily activities happen online, we’re focused on ensuring more communities have access to the reliable, high-speed connectivity they need to thrive,” said Stacy Hale, Kinetic’s state operations president. “We’re committed to building a future-proof infrastructure to help more residents, business owners, students and families stay connected and prepared both now and for many years to come.”
Kinetic fiber customers can benefit from seamless 4K+ streaming across multiple devices with no data caps and no usage charges. Multi-gigabit connections support remote work, online learning and low-latency gaming and, through partnerships with YouTube TV, AT&T for cellular bundles, and Signal for reliable VoIP, households and businesses receive a unified high-performance connectivity experience.
