Blue Ridge's FIRST FIBER BUILD

1:55PM February 18, 2021

WCFIBER is excited to announce the first buildout in the Blue Ridge area! The Stillwater Community in Seneca, SC now has WCFIBER fiber services! Check back often for more construction updates! 

Fiber coming soon to Blue Ridge

9:57AM October 14, 2020

Over the last several years, WCFIBER has built a relationship with Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative. In September 2020, WCFIBER entered into a partnership with Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative to provide WCFIBER services in the Blue Ridge service area.

Blue Ridge was organized in 1940 and serves almost 66,000 members over 6,900 miles of power line. WCFIBER was organized in 1952 and serves high speed internet service over a fiber network to approximately 20,000 members over more than 3,000 miles of fiber. The core values and culture of both organizations are similarly aligned and both are customer focused and community minded. 

Entering into this agreement is the first step in a long line of steps towards bringing this vital service to the Blue Ridge membership. Providing service will be a lengthy process that will encounter many challenges along the way. We will keep you updated on the construction plans on this updates blog so check back frequently!

SEARCHING FOR WIFI?

11:07AM September 23, 2019

WCFIBER offers reliable, fast internet. Make the most of it with a WiFi connection that won’t leave you floundering. Did you know the WiFi in your house can be affected by things other than the speed of the Internet we provide? Read on to learn about the top four things you can do to get you best WiFi signal.

1.        Use the latest and best hardware. Not all wireless routers are created equal. Older routers are not equipped to handle today’s Internet speeds, and even some new routers don’t have the capacity to deliver high speeds wirelessly. We recommend our WiFi router for the best experience.

2.      Put your router in the right place. The location of your router is the next most important part of having a great WiFi signal. Putting your router inside a cabinet, behind a wall, or next to something metal can weaken the signal. Routers are most effective when they are out in the open. Also, if you have a choice, put the router higher rather than lower—on a top shelf or on your second floor.

3.      Beware of appliances. Certain home appliances, particularly things like microwave ovens or wireless phones, can have adverse effects on your WiFi signal. Place your router farther from these appliances.

4.      Password-protect your WiFi signal. Having a WiFi signal with no password protection is an invitation to anybody to use your internet. That can also affect your WiFi experience. Put a password on your WiFi signal (we can help!) and make it a strong one. Not sure how to choose a strong password? Here’s a fun infographic that gives you some tips.

The WCFIBER team knows that strong WiFi can make or break your internet experience. Let us help you set up the best connection for your home! WCFIBER now offers 3 WiFi packages: WiFi Standard, WiFi Extended, and WiFi Premium.

TECH GEAR FOR SUMMER

9:50AM May 28, 2019

Summer is upon us, which means it’s time to drink cool drinks, enjoy time with family and friends, and use tech to beat the heat. Here’s a few recommendations for some gear designed just for this hot season!

1. Bring the noise. Catch up on your favorite shows while traveling or lounging without the bother of outside racket by investing in a pair of wireless, noise-cancelling headphones.
2. It’s a jam session. Listen to tunes or watch a movie together with the Belkin RockStar 5-Jack Multi Headphone Audio Splitter, which features five headphone jacks for those times when your posse wants to listen to the same jams, poolside, but a boom box is forbidden.
3. Movies al fresco. Enjoy your favorite movies outdoors with a projector and wifi internet connection. Hang a white sheet, spread out some blankets and pop some popcorn.
4. Fire it up. Camping is made easier with the Biolite CampStove 2, a combination personal fire, camp stove, and—yes—USB charger. Keep your marshmallows roasting and your phone or tablet battery full.
5. Time for the smartwatch. Smartwatches are more than a fad. For many people, they are like a digital personal assistant constantly encouraging you to be active and stay healthy. Summer is a great time to get started with a smartwatch, when you won’t mind being reminded to go for a little walk now and then. For a helpful start, PC Magazine reviewed the best smartwatches of 2018.

Happy summer! And if you have your own favorite summer gadgets, let us know what they are!
