Camp Sinoquipe Scout Reservation, like many Scout camps, depends on donations for many of the maintenance, repair and improvement projects at camp. Without donations and support, all too often necessary repairs and improvement projects are put on a back burner until the funding can be secured. In order to help, we donated one of our bucket trucks for their use.
Increased Gig Speed available in the Hagerstown FLIGHT FIBER Footprint
Antietam Broadband expanded their multi-gig network in Washington County, MD to include the city of Hagerstown.

Supporting Growth and Prosperity
Antietam Broadband has made a $6 million dollar private capital investment in Washington County to build a one Gigabit Broadband direct fiber connection to more than 11,000 homes and businesses. This sets Washington County apart as one of the select number of communities across the country to have this level of broadband connectivity. Antietam’s Flight Gigabit product offers a synchronous service, 1 Gbps download and 1 Gbps upload, direct fiber-to-the-premises connection to a home or business. A gigabit equals 1,000 megabits per second and represents an enormous improvement in bandwidth available to consumers. Phase One of the project is complete. Antietam’s Flight Gigabit direct fiber connection is available in Hagerstown’s City Center to over 6,000 homes and businesses and makes Hagerstown the first privately-funded gigabit city in Maryland, and the 75th gigabit city in the United States. Antietam Broadband continues to expand its Flight Gigabit service throughout Washington County.
During the Hagerstown-Washington County Chamber of Commerce Annual Business Awards ceremony in February, Antietam Broadband won the Leading Edge Award, given to a business for developing a significant technological advancement that serves as an inspiration for future progress, for the Flight Gigabit product.
