CarolinaConnect Fiber
November 13, 2026 Rudest supervisor is Christy. We were told we had to use our previous equipment at our new address in the same zip code but only a soft start was needed because the previous owners of that residence, but Customer service and Christy said no. Said we must talk with Tech support. They said no. So, we'd have to schedule a date and wait hours for someone to show. Meanwhile I work from home and need the Internet to work. Christy then says IT can do it tomorrow at 8AM, but I have a 9 AM meeting I must make. She won't give us IT's number to arrange a better time, so we say we will have to look at other options. She then calls back wanting to cancel our current service now. Can you believe how rude and petty this woman is. We can't have another appointment for a soft start or new equipment installed at the new residence, so I can at least continue working in the meantime. If you treat all your customers this way. You deserve no customers.

July 22, 2026 Several outages lately. It was down today but it is running slow. I put in a ticket and the speed of the response will determine wether I go back to Spectrum or not.

April 19, 2025 We absolutely love our internet provided by Carolina Connect. Previously we were under a "cable company" internet and it was more expensive and at least in our area, ran slower. Ever since Carolina Connect started covering our neighborhood and we made the switch its been night and day. The cost fits our budget and the speed has been better than the previous provider. We had family who live 30 minutes away get set up first for Carolina Connect internet and any time we visited their house we noticed how strong the signal was and how fast the speed was. We knew as soon as we heard they were finally setting our area up to be able to use Carolina Connect we joined a waiting list to get signed up as soon as it was available. Great internet service and provider
