Georgia broadband builds stretch from Metro Atlanta to the coast
Metro Atlanta is one of the largest fiber overbuild markets in the country, and the work does not stop at the perimeter. Buildouts are active around Augusta, Savannah, Columbus, Macon, and Athens, and rural electric cooperatives are wiring counties that never had fiber before. Providers need residential FTTH installers, splicers, and coax technicians who can handle high daily volume and pass quality inspections the first time.
