Hiwassee fibrehood in Starkville qualifies for C Spire FTTH [New Vision (Uganda)](New Vision (Uganda) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) C Spire has announced that Starkvile's Hiwassee fibrehood, which extends from the city centre to the northern edge, reached its 45 percent pre-registration target on 23 October and now joins the South Montgomery, Timbercove and Cotton District fibrehoods, which qualified earlier this year for the new suite of services. The four areas in Starkville, along with five areas in the cities of Horn Lake, Ridgeland and the entire town of Quitman, will be the first in Mississippi with internet access up to 100 times faster than the national average broadband speeds. Construction started in June in the South Montgomery and Timbercove areas of Starkville and is scheduled to begin soon in the other two areas of the city that have qualified for the service. C Spire Fibre crews began laying fibre optic cable for last mile connections in three areas of Ridgeland in May and Quitman in June. COPYRIGHT (c) 2014 NEWVISION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
