About
Dependable service. Dependable pricing.
In an industry where pricing gimmicks and bait-and-switch promotions are the norm, CarolinaConnect is built different.
Formed by electric cooperatives in 2016, we’re driven to deliver internet access that’s in sync with the distinct needs of the communities we serve.
We know behind every door there’s a different set of circumstances. That’s why we offer dependable plans and dependable pricing that are the right fit for our customers, not our bottom line. For us, the power of internet made better lies on the long-term promise of human connection.
