Google is planning to launch an experiment to provide fiber to the home network capabilities and is asking municipalities and residents to provide information that will help the company determine where to build its network.
Moncks Corner is one of the smallest towns in the U.S. pursuing an opportunity to become a test site for a new ultra high-speed broadband network that could potentially deliver internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today and citizens will play a critical role in the effort.
The Town of Moncks Corner is asking residents, business owners, students and anyone willing to help to submit a recommendation to Google or YouTube video nominating the town as a test site for Google's new ultra high speed network.

Perhaps the most unique and certainly most important benefit the town of Moncks Corner brings to the table is the willingness of our incumbent local exchange carrier, Home Telephone Company, to partner with Google.
- They have been providing quality telecommunication service to our town for over 100 years.
- They have been a natural leader in deploying fiber to the home technology and have an extensive fiber network with local fiber technicians and maintenance crews on call 24/7.
- Their existing customer base, back office support and management systems are in place and ready to access.
- Home's existing right of way, conduit, handholds, soft switches and associated electronics offers Google the ability to hit the ground running.
Why Google should select Moncks Corner:
- We have willing participation of our rural local exchange company.
- Our proximity to the existing Google data center will minimize transport cost and maximize the value of the local data center.
- Our superior geological condition has the perfect terrain for buried projects.
- Our climate is such that year round construction is possible.
- Our existing rural education and medical complexes offers the ability to demonstrate what ultra fast connections can do for rural health care.
