United 8 Gig fiber lands in Smyrna
Middle Tennessee’s local fiber internet leader, United Communications, and Middle Tennessee Electric announced yesterday that Smyrna customers are now eligible to sign up for its ultra-fast 8 Gig fiber broadband service. This 8 Gig connection is the fastest home internet service in Rutherford County—capable of speeds that are up to 160 times faster than other internet providers in the area.
“Unlike Google or AT&T, we live in the very same communities we serve,” said Josh Lynch, the chief operating officer of United Communications and a proud board member of the Boys & Girls Club. “We’re passionate about providing world-class internet backed by the values we share with our neighbors: hard work, integrity, and privacy. Our dedicated, friendly support team is always ready to assist, ensuring you receive the top-tier service you deserve every time you reach out.”
“We are grateful for the 4,000 members who have made the switch to United fiber internet in the Smyrna area, making United the leader in fiber in Smyrna,” said Chris Jones, the president and CEO of Middle Tennessee Electric. “More than just industry-leading speeds and reliability, we know our members value the privacy and local customer service that United offers.”
United Communications and Middle Tennessee Electric made the announcement at the launch of a free 8 Gig fiber connection at the Smyrna Boys & Girls Club, which provides local students of all ages with a wide range of after-school enrichment programs including computer science, digital literacy essentials, and online homework assistance.
During the celebration, Smyrna Mayor Mary Esther Reed addressed the students with words of support and encouragement to strive for excellence in and out of the classroom.
“You can do anything you want to do, but to do that, you have to study and be the best student you can be,” said Mayor Reed. “United Communications and Middle Tennessee Electric are helping to make that possible, and they are wonderful partners to our community.”
United’s 8 Gig upgrade in Smyrna comes just five years after the company installed a local fiber optic network to support the Town of Smyrna’s internal telecommunications and built an enterprise-class fiber network to support Rutherford County’s 911 communications. Since 2020, United has invested significantly in Smyrna’s broadband infrastructure to keep the community’s essential services running smoothly while also providing fast, reliable, high-speed internet service to its residents and businesses.
United’s high-speed fiber service in Smyrna provides every customer with a dedicated connection capable of multi-gig download speeds and matching upload speeds with an industry-leading 99.99% network reliability score. Monthly residential internet plans offered by United Communications start at $49.95 with no data caps, contracts, or hidden fees.
For a limited time only, new customers in select areas, including Smyrna, can take advantage of an exclusive promotion when they switch to United’s fiber internet: $59.95 per month for 1 Gig internet or $79.95 per month for 2 Gig internet, both with a 2-year price lock. The offer also includes free installation (a $49 value) and a free router with United’s Ultimate UControl app for the first 3 months (a $15.95 savings).
