Hawaiian Telcom
Expands High-Speed Internet in Orchidland Estates
Connect America Funds Help
Accelerate Broadband Expansion in Rural Areas
HONOLULU (August 10, 2015) - Hawaiian
Telcom has expanded availability of its High-Speed Internet service
in Keaau's Orchidland Estates subdivision. The expansion was
accelerated largely due to approximately $400,000 in support from
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s Connect America Fund
(CAF).
"Hawaiian Telcom is pleased to partner with the FCC through the
Connect America Program to invest in deploying broadband in remote,
high-cost rural areas," said Steve Golden, VP - External Affairs
for Hawaiian Telcom.
CAF was created in 2011 as part of the FCC's reform of its
universal service programs, which consumers contribute to as a
Universal Service fee on their monthly telephone and wireless
bills, to drive investment in 21st century
broadband and voice services.
Hawaiian Telcom deployed High-Speed Internet
service to more than 500 locations in Orchidland Estates from
34th Ave. to
41st Ave., from
Pohaku Dr. to Ainaloa Blvd. All locations will qualify for 4
Megabits per second (Mbps) downstream and 1 Mbps upstream.
Interested residents should call Hawaiian Telcom's Consumer Sales
Center at toll-free 808-643-3456. A valid street address is required.
Hawaiian Telcom initially deployed broadband to
parts of Orchidland Estates in 2003. The company was eligible for
CAF support because no other fixed broadband provider served this
area.
With additional CAF support of approximately $1 million, Hawaiian
Telcom continues its broadband expansion on Hawaii Island and will
deploy service to more than 1,300 additional locations in the
Hawaii Ocean View Estates, Honaunau, Keaau, Mountain View and
Volcano communities by the end of this year.
