"surpassing a major milestone of more than 38,000 homes passed."
The number of residential units that a broadband or telecom network could be connected to because the provider’s infrastructure reaches them, whether or not those homes are currently customers. Think of it like counting every house on a street that has a visible cable or fiber at the curb: it shows the potential customer base and the scale of market opportunity that network capacity and future sales can target.

Why Kinetic’s fiber infrastructure matters to North Carolina
Fiber is the best technology for the long-term success of Concord’s communications needs. Research shows that fiber-connected communities experience 213% higher business growth, 10% higher self-employment and a potential 14-17% increase in home values. Fiber is also significantly more sustainable than copper and uses up to 95% less energy per gigabit. It requires less maintenance over time, which reduces environmental impact and community disruption.

As a long-term partner to the Concord community, Kinetic Is committed to delivering on its promise to provide fast, reliable, future-proof connectivity that helps local economic growth, education, telehealth, and small business competitiveness. This investment underscores the company’s dedication to providing the communities it serves—the same communities its employees also live and work in—with sustained value both now and for years to come.

Kinetic, which was also named CNET’s Best Rural Fiber Internet Provider in 2026, is rooted in North Carolina and is proud to serve its communities beyond internet connectivity. Kinetic’s fiber expansion milestone in Concord follows the company recently reaching 2 million homes passed with fiber internet across its 18-state footprint.
