"We are not just celebrating growth but also celebrating the people who made it possible.”


MONCKS CORNER, SC October 1, 2025 — Home Telecom is excited to announce they have

reached a new milestone of 50,000 customers throughout the Lowcountry, reflecting not only

rapid growth – doubling its customer base in just seven years – but also the enduring trust of the

communities it has served for more than a century.


“As we approach 122 years in business, this milestone is more than a number; it is a testament

to the power of local connections,” said William Helmly, president and CEO of Home Telecom.

“Our employees are the heartbeat of this company. Their passion, innovation, and dedication

are what make Home Telecom a trusted name in the region. We are not just celebrating growth

but also celebrating the people who made it possible.”


Home Telecom’s deep roots in the Lowcountry continue to shape its mission: delivering

innovative technology with a personal touch. From expanding multi-gig internet into rural areas

to launching community-wide SmartTown Wi-Fi, the company is committed to bridging the

digital divide and keeping the Charleston region connected.


“We have been part of this community for generations, and we are just getting started,” said

Gina Shuler, vice president of Marketing. “Our growth is fueled by the trust of our neighbors,

and we are investing that trust right back—through sponsorships, grants, and technology that

empowers families, schools, and businesses to thrive.”

With the recent launch of 5 Gbps service in Nexton and the innovative MyWiFi Outdoor

product, Home Telecom continues to push boundaries in connectivity and customer

experience.


“Being a local provider gives us a unique advantage,” said Phallan Robbins, vice president of

Growth and Experience. “We are agile, responsive, and deeply tuned in to what our customers

need. That is why we not only deliver fast internet, but an exceptional, friendly, and flexible

experience that national providers simply cannot match.”
