Company Also Announces New Faster Internet
Speed Services
Atlantic Broadband, the nation's 9th largest cable operator,
today announced the first Gigabit internet service in Connecticut.
Effective immediately, both GigaEdge (residential) and
Pro GigaEdge (business) internet services are available to
more than 37,000 homes and businesses passed in eastern Connecticut
communities including East Lyme, New London, Niantic, Montville,
Oakdale, Quaker Hill, Uncasville and Waterford.
The company’s Gigabit service marks the arrival of revolutionary
internet speeds to enable an entirely new level of user experience.
Atlantic Broadband’s GigaEdge internet speeds are more than 100
times faster than the average residential DSL speed, while Pro
GigaEdge is 20 times faster than the fastest DSL download speeds
available to businesses today in eastern Connecticut.
With GigaEdge’s significantly faster and more powerful internet
speeds, users are able to surf, stream, download, work, and game
online at the same time, like never before. Customers will be able
to download a two hour HD movie in 32 seconds and send a large file
(250 MB) back to the office in just 40 seconds. And, with over 28
percent of U.S. households using 10 or more devices in the home on
a daily basis1, GigaEdge offers enough speed for everyone to be
connected at the same time.
Atlantic Broadband is fully committed to bringing affordable
Gigabit internet service to the communities it serves with pricing
starting at $89.99/month for new residential customers and
$249.99/month for new business customers.
“Atlantic Broadband is excited to deliver on its promise to
bring cutting-edge speeds to the Connecticut residents and
businesses we serve. And, we are thrilled to be the very first
company in the state to deliver these residential speeds,” said
David Isenberg, Atlantic Broadband’s President and Chief Revenue
Officer. “GigaEdge and Pro GigaEdge will transform the way people
communicate, work, and play online and we believe it has the power
to positively impact the local economy and attract new businesses
to the region.”
Atlantic Broadband’s GigaEdge services were unveiled today at
the Lyman Allyn Art Museum in New London. The launch event featured
local government and business leaders and gave local residents the
opportunity to demo GigaEdge.
“As we celebrate nearly one year of serving eastern Connecticut,
we are tremendously proud to bring GigaEdge and Pro GigaEdge to the
region,” said Charles Hanley, Vice President and General Manager,
Atlantic Broadband Connecticut region. “We are committed to
continuing to provide the fastest internet speeds, the most
complete entertainment, and the best hands-on local service to the
