Suddenlink Communications announced last week it is increasing speeds for the company’s most popular residential high-speed Internet packages in Gainesville, Mineral Wells, Oak Ridge, Sadler and Whitesboro at no added charge for its customers.
These speeds will be immediately available to new and existing customers. Existing customers do not need to contact Suddenlink to get the faster speeds.
With these news speeds, Suddenlink Internet service speeds will be among the fastest residential services in the area.
“In today’s world, more and more customers demand faster speeds to get work done, watch movies on their computers, play online games, and more quickly e-mail photographs and other large files to friends and family,” said Gainesville and Mineral Wells Suddenlink District Business Manager Alphy Jurarim. “As a leading provider of broadband services to the community, we understand this demand and are responding to it.”
Suddenlink’s Premier Internet service has doubled its download speed and is now moving up to 10 megabits per second (mbps) from 5 mbps; Preferred Internet service is now moving up to 8 mbps from 4 mbps; and Value Internet service speed continues to be offered at 1 mbps.
Each service includes access to e-mail via WebMail, personal WebSpace and Spam Blocker. Premier and Preferred Internet services include a security suite with parental controls, anti-spyware, anti-virus, firewall and pop-up blocker at no additional cost.
“Beyond faster speeds, people appreciate the discount and convenience they receive when they bundle their high-speed Internet service with cable TV and our other services and get all on one monthly bill,” Jurarim said.
For more information, residents can also call Suddenlink toll-free at 888-822-5151 or visit Suddenlink’s local offices at 6501 U.S. Highway 180 East in Mineral Wells. Information also is available online at http://www.Suddenlink.com.
Suddenlink is the third-largest cable operator in Texas.
