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!

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.

Are you feeling like Phil (Bill Murray) from Groundhog Day, where every day is the same old, tired repeat with your internet connection? WCFIBER wants to help you change that.
As you may know, we've been busy building in 17 different Greenwood neighborhoods and have a several more planned for 2018. Here's where you come in...
Tell your neighbors to register. Make sure you have registered. The registrations we receive will influence our construction plans so the more we have for your area, the better the odds are you can stop repeating "Phil's" terrible day and get better internet, TV and unlimited voice.

Our construction crews have had a busy fall season so far. A sure “sign” that something is happening in your neighborhood is when you see this sign set up near our trucks.
We have a number of areas that recently finished construction and services are being installed at homes now.
• Harris Mill Phase 1, Forest Lake, and Cobblestone construction has been completed. We are currently scheduling installs in these three areas.
• Harris Mill Phase 2 is 80% complete and installations for those who have already placed orders should begin in early November and possibly near Halloween. What spooktacularly good news!
• Locksley Hall construction is a little more than half way done and we hope to begin installs by mid to late November.
• Idlewood construction is one-third of the way done. Installs should start by the end of November.
• Druid Hills construction is one quarter of the way done and should be ready for installs by end of November.
• Forest Hills and Cherokee Hills are scheduled to begin construction within the next few weeks.
If you are in one of these neighborhoods, please call our office at 844-303-4237 to sign up. If you’re not in an active area, please pre-register – and encourage your neighbors to pre-register – to let us know you are interested in bringing fiber to your area. We continue to look for new areas to expand to as we cover Greenwood with fiber!

Dr. Christopher Griffin, DMD, (http://www.drchrisgriffindmd.com) has West Carolina services at his home and is looking forward to when we build WCFIBER into Greenwood where his dentistry practice is located. But, don’t take our word for it. Here’s what he had to say recently:
“West Carolina’s Customer Service sets them apart. When I call, I am able to have my issue resolved in a very appropriate amount of time. Service technicians are local and on call whenever needed. In addition, the service has been fantastic, reliable and the internet is Super-Fast! I recommend West Carolina to all of my friends. I can’t wait for them to build to my business in Greenwood. I’m ready to switch over my practice to West Carolina’s WCFIBER now.”
If you are in Greenwood, please pre-register – and encourage your neighbors to pre-register – to let us know you are interested in bringing fiber to your home or business.
9:05AM September 22, 2017
WCFIBER was excited to participate and mingle with all the local businesses that make Greenwood awesome. We were honored to have so many people stop by our booth and talk with us about our products and services. Once you register your interest on our site, make sure you tell your neighbors to register too, the more people registered in one area the higher the chance of receiving WCFIBER’s services.
2:26PM September 07, 2017
Our crews have made their way to Harris Mill to begin construction in phases throughout the area. Construction has started in Harris Mill (including Summit Place), Cobblestone, and Forest Lake. Construction involves a three-step process:
If you are in one of these neighborhoods, please call our office to sign up. If you’re not in an active area, please pre-register – and encourage your neighbors to pre-register – to let us know you are interested in bringing fiber to your area.
4:39PM August 30, 2017
You likely have seen construction crews working and some who have placed orders have already have services installed. Construction will continue through August and installations have already started. For those who have already signed up, you’ll be contacted for an appointment once the primary construction is done and a connection is made from the curb to the outside of your home. If you haven’t talked to our team yet, now is the best time to complete your order while our crews are in these two neighborhoods. Call 844-30-FIBER to finish your order, we look forward to talking with you soon!
3:42PM August 24, 2017
WCFIBER has opened up Harris Mill, Summit Place, Forest Lake, and Cobblestone as new areas (“zones”) in Greenwood. WCFIBER has already begun the preliminary construction work. So, if you live in one of these areas, be sure to call our office to place an order today. And, tell your neighbors the good news too.
You may be wondering what the big deal is that WCFIBER is building FIBER to these neighborhoods. You may even be asking yourself, who needs speeds up to 1,000 Mbps anyway? The Fiber Broadband Association released a 2015 study that found access to fiber had a direct impact on home real estate values. “The boost to the value of a typical home – $5,437 – is roughly equivalent to adding a fireplace, half of a bathroom or a quarter of a swimming pool to the home,” the Association stated in a news release about the study. More and more devices are connected to the Internet, increasing the need for more bandwidth. A WCFIBER connection will future-proof your homes and ensure movie nights aren’t spoiled by buffering and frustrating wait times.
4:01PM August 22, 2017
WCFIBER construction crews are busy in several neighborhoods bringing fiber and Gigabit Internet speeds to Greenwood. It is time to say goodbye to slow, unreliable connections that buffer. WCFIBER’s all-fiber network of Internet, phone and TV are crisp, clear and always on.
Crews have completed work in Regency Park Luxury Apartments. Residents there now have 200 x 200 Mbps Internet, replacing a 6 Mbps service from another provider.
Installations in homes in Hunter’s Creek and Centre Court are underway and will continue for the next several weeks. Next on the schedule is work in Harris Mill Village, Forest Lake, Cobblestone and Summit Place. So, if you live in any of these neighborhoods, now is the time to sign up and get 30 days of service for FREE.
Where to next? That answer is in your hands. Tell your neighbors to register at GigUpGreenwood.com. Let’s build fiber everywhere.
