Transformative Speed for Modern Needs
With United’s 8-Gig fiber internet, customers can expect unparalleled download and upload speeds, supporting the growing demand for data-intensive activities such as remote work, online learning, and smart home technology. This cutting-edge service offers speeds 40 times faster than the average download speed in the US through a private fiber-optic connection to each customer, enabling seamless streaming, gaming, and virtual collaboration.
United Communications’ launch of 8-Gig fiber internet offers matching download and upload speeds combined with their industry-leading 99.99% network reliability.

Commitment to Bridging the Digital Divide
The 8-Gig service rollout is part of United’s larger mission to connect underserved and rural areas in Middle Tennessee, as exemplified by their ongoing Project UNITE. With significant investments and partnerships, including a $4 million investment in a project in Shelbyville, the initiative aims to close the digital divide by delivering reliable and affordable broadband to communities previously lacking robust internet infrastructure. Phased roll-outs of 8-Gig connections will eventually reach the entire coverage area of United customers, estimated for completion by the summer of 2025.

Introducing this advanced fiber technology is more than just an upgrade—it’s a driver of economic growth and community development. By supporting education, telemedicine, and local businesses, United’s investment in high-speed internet strengthens the region’s infrastructure and quality of life. 8-Gig fiber internet is the fastest connection available in the region for personal and household use. An upgraded 8-Gig connection will enhance bandwidth capacity for business customers to power a dynamic digital landscape.
