PERQUIMANS COUNTY, FASTER INTERNET IS ON THE WAY!
Great news! FOCUS Broadband has received additional funding from the NC Department of Information Technology (NCDIT) through the Completing Access to Broadband (CAB) Program. With this funding, FOCUS Broadband will extend its fiber optic network to over 120 additional unserved addresses in Perquimans County, bringing high-speed internet to even more residents. This builds on previous CAB funding awarded to FOCUS Broadband in 2024 to connect more than 550 unserved addresses near New Hope, Belvidere, Chapanoke, and Bethel. Both FOCUS Broadband and Perquimans County will contribute additional funding to complete these projects.
FOCUS Broadband has been working to bring high-speed internet service to rural communities in Perquimans County since 2022, when the company was awarded a $4 million Growing Rural Economies with Access to Technology (GREAT) Grant by the NCDIT to serve 1,960 addresses. A second GREAT Grant followed in 2023 to reach another 988 addresses. Today, thanks to this support, more than 3,000 homes and businesses are already connected — and more are on the way!
Our progress wouldn't have been possible without the strong support of local residents, business owners, and community leaders who helped make these awards possible. Thank you for being part of this effort!
We're proud to serve Perquimans County and look forward to continuing to expand access to reliable, high-speed internet!

The map shown is for illustrative purposes. All FOCUS Broadband services may not be available at all addresses. Actual availability of services is not guaranteed and must be verified before an order may be placed.

Addresses which require construction of network facilities over 1,000 feet may necessitate the customer pay aid in construction charges.
