BRUNSWICK, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LiveOak Fiber, a Georgia-based internet service provider, is proud to announce a significant milestone in the expansion and activation of its high-speed fiber-optic network in Savannah and Chatham County. Building on the company’s mission to bridge the digital divide, LiveOak Fiber will begin connecting customers and taking service orders for 1,200 homes and businesses in the Bacon Park and Sandfly areas within two weeks. Construction is moving rapidly and is on pace to deliver 7,200 passings by year-end.
LiveOak Fiber’s expansion in Savannah builds upon its existing presence in the region, including its service to customers on Skidaway Island. This represents the first phase of a larger initiative that will ultimately serve 46,000 homes and businesses in Savannah and the surrounding area.
“This network expansion demonstrates our commitment to providing reliable, high-speed internet to underserved areas in our home state,” said Steve Smith, Chief Revenue Officer at LiveOak Fiber. “We're not just announcing future plans – we’re actively connecting homes and businesses now, ensuring that communities across Savannah and Chatham County have access to the best-in-class internet experience they deserve.”
Bert Brantley, President & CEO of the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce, commented on the economic impact of the expansion: “LiveOak Fiber’s investment in our community’s digital infrastructure is a game-changer for local businesses and residents alike. This high-speed connectivity will drive economic growth, support remote work, and enhance educational opportunities across Savannah.”
“We are thrilled to welcome LiveOak to Savannah and look forward to their continued growth and expansion,” Savannah’s District 3 Alderwoman Linda Wilder-Bryan added. “Connectivity is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have, and LiveOak is helping our residents and businesses compete in today’s economy. The Mighty 3rd District is always working towards making ‘All of Savannah Better’ and welcomes businesses that change the quality of life of the 28,000 plus citizens I serve!”
LiveOak Fiber’s efficient build-to-service model aims to minimize the time between infrastructure deployment and customer activation, ensuring that communities can quickly benefit from the new fiber network. The company’s local roots and rapid deployment strategy set it apart in the competitive broadband landscape. Newly connected single-family homes, multi-dwelling units, and businesses will experience speeds far exceeding typical broadband offerings.
