Fastwyre to build “robust” fiber optic network in Oakdale, Louisiana
(UI) – Fastwyre Broadband, a cutting-edge fiber optic provider, will begin providing a robust fiber optic broadband network to residents and businesses in Oakdale, La. Fastwyre is committed to expanding in Louisiana as it recently launched a successful fiber optic network in Westlake and plans to bring service to the southwest Louisiana communities of DeRidder and Leesville in the coming weeks.
Fastwyre’s state-of-the-art network features an underground fiber-to-the-premises infrastructure enhancement that delivers high-speed internet to help customers meet their data transmission, online video conferencing, e-commerce, virtual learning, entertainment and telehealth needs. High-speed internet ranges from 100 megabits per second to 1 gigabit per second. Over time, Fastwyre’s goal is to provide up to 10 gigabits per second.
“Having high-quality, high-speed broadband service available in Oakdale will help our community thrive as we plug into the future and enjoy the ever-expanding broadband applications available today and in the years to come. In addition, we have appreciated Fastwyre’s commitment to being a good neighbor through its support of several community initiatives in the area,” said Gene Paul, Mayor of Oakdale.
Fastwyre continues building broadly in Oakdale to provide access to service across the city and underserviced areas in the region.
