Who We Are
We are HTC. Yes, we are your local internet provider. Now, take a closer look. You’ll see HTC is a member-owned cooperative. We’re powering South Carolina with speed, service and community spirit. With over 15,000 miles of advanced fiber deployed, we’ve built the most extensive fiber network across Horry, Georgetown, and Marion counties. And we’re not stopping there.
A Beacon of Innovation
Delivering lightning-fast speeds with over 15,000 miles of fiber, we’re striving to bring gigabit internet and life-changing digital power to every corner of our service area.
Our innovative technology solutions go beyond internet service. From smart home security and cloud-based business tools to mobile services and entertainment packages, we offer a complete suite of solutions designed to keep you connected, protected, and productive.
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, we don’t hold onto surplus funds. Our members receive a portion of the profits via capital credits – a powerful reward for loyalty.
Our board members, team and network have deep roots in the community. We live where you live. 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.
