Hawaiian Telcom launches 3 gbps symmetrical internet service

Hawaiian Telcom has rolled out its new 3 Gig Symmetrical optics internet service across fiber-enabled areas throughout Hawai’i, giving residents and businesses in the state the fastest internet speeds available in the region. The new service offers download and upload speeds of up to 3 Gbps, making it ideal for households and businesses with multiple high-bandwidth activities taking place simultaneously.

Breaking Speed Barriers for Hawai’i

Hawaiian Telcom President Su Shin said in a press release that the new launch is important as today’s connected world needs more speed and reliability for the internet. “In our increasingly connected world, the need for faster internet speeds never stops,” Shin said. “With 3 Gig Symmetrical Fioptics internet service, users can download and upload data at unprecedented speeds, offering a seamless online experience.”

Hawaiian Telcom will be the first service provider in Hawai’i to deliver multi-gigabit internet speeds, following the path of innovation for high-speed broadband. The company had already marked a milestone by introducing 1 Gig internet to the state, and this new service promises to take Hawai’i’s digital infrastructure to the next level.

The firm has also shown commitment to the future of the state by investing over $1 billion in fiber infrastructure. Infrastructure such as this is fundamental to connectivity, economic growth, and the provision of services such as education, telehealth, and remote work. “Our commitment modernizes the state’s infrastructure and strengthens its position in the digital economy,” Shin stated.

Future-Proofing Hawai’i’s Internet Needs

While smart, internet-connected devices are coming under every roof, the needs for higher internet speeds keep mounting. Deloitte’s 2023 Connected Consumer Survey reports that for today’s U.S. average household, there are actually an average of 21 devices connected. Consumers are busy streaming videos, playing video games online, working remotely from home, and participating in video conferences. The evidence for fast, reliable Internet is clear.

This service from Hawaiian Telcom enables the user to enjoy non-stop multimedia applications such as video conferencing, streaming, and high-definition gaming on it, with its 3 Gig capacity. Whether be that home office, content generation, or playing with a few friends, lagging does not happen because 3 Gig service allows many devices to drive full velocity.
This is particularly true within Hawaii’s tech and gaming spheres, where activities range from online gaming and live streaming and extended reality projects to super-large data transfers, hence having ultra-fast connectivity as much as possible. These kind of high-bandwidth tasks are what Hawai’i Pacific University’s Esports arena relies on its powerful high-performance gaming computers and advanced next-generation consoles in line with virtual reality stations.

At Hawai’i Pacific University Esports

we know that fast and reliable internet is critical to all the advances in esports, gaming, and tech, across the islands,” says Esports director Jordan Oliver. “Hawaiian Telcom’s new 3 Gig symmetrical service is a tremendous boost to Hawai’i’s tech community, supporting everything from high-stakes live-streamed tournaments to innovative extended reality projects and collaborative content creation.”

According to Oliver, the service provides this kind of connectivity that is expected in high-bandwidth activity like immersive video conferencing and live-streamed esport events, thus not losing Hawai’i on the global tech and game maps. “This level of connectivity empowers our students, gamers, and the tech community to engage without hindrance, putting Hawai’i on the map as a hub for technology and innovation,” Oliver noted.

Lightning-Fast Download Speeds for Content Creation and More

As the video resolutions have evolved into better quality, thus have bandwidth requirements also. Here one can download a full 1-hour long hour-long 4K Ultra HD movie of 20 Gigabyte in 53 seconds, which would be substantially quicker than downloading on an approximately 10 Mbps. For example, this can be downloaded within just approximately 4 hours and over 30 minutes. The download and upload of large files in record time might make it a game-changer for content creators, video producers, and all other remote workers who need fast and tight internet.

It is not only blazing-fast but also offers the advanced eero Max 7 Wi-Fi gateway, providing coverage of up to 2,500 square feet with top-tier security features, including encryption and automatic security updates that keep home networks safe. This router ensures that the high-speed service can be accessed without any interruptions throughout the home or office while protecting the users from online threats.
