Washington County Gigabit Project: Phase Two Expansion

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.

Phases One and Two of the project are complete. Antietam’s Flight Gigabit direct fiber connection is available in Hagerstown’s City Center, areas within and north of the City of Hagerstown, MD. and Boonsboro, MD are activated. With recent expansions, the network passes over 20% of the homes in Washington County. Phase 3 expansion is now being planned. Hagerstown is the first privately-funded gigabit city in Maryland, and the 75th gigabit city in the entire United States.
