YEC’s high-speed fiber internet project is well underway

York Electric Cooperative has partnered with Comporium to bring high-speed fiber internet to approximately 5,000 members in western York and parts of Cherokee counties.

For more information on when this service will be brought to your area, please visit us at yorkelectric.net/fiber.

Audrey Fisk was the first member to get connected to high-speed internet. Fisk says, “My experience has been great so far. I couldn’t believe the difference in internet speed this service provides.”

Gregory Moyer was the third member to sign up for service. “We’ve had a good experience with Comporium so far,” Moyer says. “They have been helpful and quick to respond to any questions or problems we have had. My wife and I work from home about half the time, so having high-speed internet has been a big help.”

Rita Beamguard (right) was the second member to sign up for broadband. “Everyone with Comporium has been so helpful, Beamguard says. “It is almost like having friends come into our home to set everything up. Having access to high-speed internet has been a huge help with virtual schooling.” Beamguard’s children, Jon McClain and Kylee, are grateful to attend online classes at home and to stream their favorite TV shows.

Interested in electric vehicles? YEC wants to hear from you!

Electric Vehicle Survey QR CodeMany consider the future to be electric, and that includes cars! Market share for electric vehicles (EVs) per total vehicle count is still low, but on the rise.

  • EVs account for 2% of vehicles in the United States.
  • EVs account for 0.2% of vehicles in South Carolina.
  • YEC has 371 EVs registered in our service territory.

As EV interest and purchases increase, we need your help to prepare for the future. Help your co-op serve you best by providing valuable feedback. Your voice matters and will help us create the best plan and rate structure to accommodate this new technology.

Scan the code at right with your smartphone or visit yorkelectric.net/EVsurvey to complete the survey!
