“We’ll invest nearly $500,000 in these projects and work on them through 2014,” she said. “When completed, customers in these areas of Pocahontas County – residential and commercial – will enjoy faster broadband speeds.”

Frontier recognizes the importance of providing broadband services to residences, businesses, schools and other key facilities, and Griffith noted Frontier already is providing enhances services to commercial customers in Linwood around the base of Snowshoe.

“Frontier has worked and invested in Pocahontas County, and we are not just selecting the most densely populated areas to serve,” Griffith said. “We are trying to reach as many customers as possible and will continue to do so.”

Brown’s Creek is now   capable of faster service that was  turned up on Friday, May 9.

Griffith said residents can call 1-800-921-8101 toll free for information about service options.  Business owners and managers can call 1-800-921-8102 toll free for information about acquiring business-class speeds.
