Construction of its Charleston area network has begun, with customers expected to start coming online in late 2025.
“We are thrilled to see IQ Fiber’s expansion into Charleston, as it brings much-needed competition to our broadband landscape,” said William S. Cogswell, the Mayor of Charleston. “This marks a significant step toward ensuring that Charleston remains a thriving, connected community in today’s digital world.”
The Jacksonville-based firm is rapidly expanding across the US, having only launched in 2021.
The IQ Fiber’s South Carolina news adds to existing deployments in Florida, including Jacksonville, and Alachua, and St Johns counties, among others.

“Our 100% fibre-optic network delivers the reliability and ultra-fast symmetrical speeds that residents and neighbourhoods need with an exceptional customer experience they deserve.”
