en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ripple Fiber has completed a fiber optic infrastructure project in North Carolina's Outer Banks, investing $20 million to cover five communities—Kitty Hawk, Southern Shores, Duck, Kill Devil Hills, and Corolla—providing over 20,000 homes and businesses with 100% fiber optic internet access.

Ripple Fiber is a 100% fiber optic internet provider and network operator. Founder and CEO Greg Wilson stated that the Outer Banks is one of its earliest fiber networks, and this investment completes the initial phase, enabling thousands of homes and businesses in the five communities to connect to the fiber network. The provider plans to continue expanding in identified areas to bring service to more residents. The project launched in late 2023, with the first users in the region served in January 2024. Currently, Ripple Fiber has identified additional construction opportunities in the Corolla area, primarily involving multi-unit residential properties and private communities.

For households relying on Wi-Fi for remote work, online learning, gaming, or video streaming, fiber optic internet is considered a necessity. As the Outer Banks is a popular vacation destination, tourists have increasingly high expectations for internet reliability. The fiber network helps property owners meet this demand and supports security cameras and remote monitoring systems that many rental property owners rely on while away. Through Ripple Fiber, residents in the area can choose plans starting at $40 per month with speeds up to 8 gigabits, and all new customers receive the first month free. All gigabit plans come with an eero Pro 7 router and free internet backup, multi-gigabit plans offer a 3-year price lock, and free white-glove installation ensures seamless setup, along with a 30-day service commitment to guarantee the experience.
