Who We Are

We are HTC – not just an internet provider, but a member-owned cooperative. We’re powering South Carolina with speed, service and community spirit. With over 14,000 miles of advanced fiber deployed, we’ve built the most extensive fiber network across Horry, Georgetown, and Marion counties. And we are still growing.

A Beacon of Innovation

Delivering lightning-fast speeds with over 14,000 miles of fiber, we’re striving to bring gigabit internet and life-changing digital power to every corner of our service area.

From smart home security and cloud-enabled business solutions to mobile plans and packaged entertainment, our tech lineup is both comprehensive and state-of-the-art.

We’re not resting on past achievements – we’re upgrading, expanding and innovating every day to stay at the forefront of connectivity.

Cooperative by Design, Community by Heart

Every person we serve is a member, which means you have a vote, you share in our success, and you help steer our future – not just shop for services.

As a not-for-profit cooperative, our surplus isn’t pocketed. They are returned to our members via capital credits – a powerful reward for loyalty.

We live where you live – our board members, team and network are deeply rooted in your neighborhoods. Our resources aren’t funneled out; they stay and invest right here. Learn more by visiting our Member Benefits page.

Connections and Local Impact

“Helping The Community” isn’t just an initiative – it’s our daily mission. Through grants, employee volunteerism, outreach events and sponsorships – we support education, non-profit partnerships and local growth.

From expanding reliable coverage to strengthening local connections, our services are built to keep communities close and connected.

From Horry to Georgetown and Marion County, our network connects families, schools, businesses, and local governments – always with a hometown advantage. Learn more about community involvement on our Helping The Community page.
