Georgia Benefits from 23,000 New Kinetic Fiber Builds

Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Tuesday, April 14th, 2026

Kinetic today announced a major broadband expansion in Georgia, delivering multi-gig fiber internet to more than 23,000 additional homes across more than 130 communities in the fourth quarter of 2025. The expansion highlights Kinetic’s commitment to delivering better technology, at a better value for customers.

Georgia is currently experiencing a rise in its tech sector, leading to an economic renaissance. 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.

“Kinetic’s internet service is much more reliable than our previous service. The installation crews were very professional and did a great job. We were concerned that burial of the fiber optic line across our front yard would leave a scar on our turf. We explained that concern to the foreman. He listened, guided his crew, and they did such a good job that after they left, I could not tell the cable had been installed,” said Lester Castellow, a Kinetic customer in Moultrie.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, Kinetic added fiber locations in more than 120 Georgia towns including Abbeville, Blairsville, Canton, Dalton, Fitzgerald, Homer, Lafayette, Lake Park, Monroe, Nashville, Rincon, Sparks, Trion, Valdosta, Winder, and more. A portion of these locations were built to with the support of American Rescue Plan Act funding in partnership with the counties and the State of Georgia.

To date, more than 378,000 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 the foundation of a more productive digital future, and our investment in Georgia gives residents and businesses the fast, reliable connectivity their daily routines depend on,” said Stacy Hale, Kinetic’s state operations president. “We’re focused on helping our customers make the most of their time online, and that starts with a connection they can count on.”

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.

More Georgia residents and businesses now have access to:

  • Wi-Fi 7 – The newest, most advanced secure connection with equipment from manufacturers like eero, an Amazon company. Wi-Fi 7 delivers faster speeds and lower latency and supports up to 200+ connected devices at the same time, creating a better internet experience with wall-to-wall coverage and less tech stress.

  • Whole-Home Wi-Fi Set-Up – Professional new fiber installs coupled with the Kinetic PromiseTM, which is a pledge that technicians will not leave the home until Wi-Fi works in every area and on every device where needed.

  • Business Ready Internet – A unified fiber connectivity service for small businesses that offers up to 1 Gig speeds with integrated security and managed Wi-Fi to keep daily operations efficient and secure.

 

Kinetic, which was named CNET’s Best Rural Fiber Internet Provider in 2026, will continue expanding its future-proof fiber network in Georgia in 2026. With 11.2 million fiber strand miles and 1.9 million homes passed to date across its 18-state footprint, Kinetic’s network is expected to reach 3.5 million homes and businesses by 2029.

“Kinetic is investing today to expand multi-gig capability and stay ready for what’s next,” added Hale. “We remain committed to challenging the status quo for customers, understanding their specific needs, putting them first and helping them to live their best lives with fiber technology.”
