2019 SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT
Fiber Optic 1-2-3 Training Course
Congratulations to Cody Mills of Ellenboro, NC. Cody applied for and received PANGAEA Internet’s $750 scholarship to attend a 4-day Fiber Optic 1-2-3 training course this month.



Cody says, “As a driven learner, I feel like this scholarship will help me further my career goals by providing me with the knowledge necessary to assist in maintaining infrastructure for my employer. It is critical to have personnel properly trained for various issues, especially in a rural area such as Rutherford County. I feel like it would be a great benefit, both to myself and to the community as a whole, for more technicians in the area to be trained in fiber optics.”

Monthly Savings With Much Better Results

I love PANGAEA! Now my guests can work from my rental house in Lake Lure and stay connected. I now stream TV and movies, a big monthly savings with much better results. I have also changed from a land line phone to an internet phone for about $30 a year!! It all works great! I couldn’t be happier.

PANGAEA made the transition seamless

We are extremely excited to be connected to PANGAEA Internet. This summer Barry and I made the decision to make a substantial investment in our office’s IT structure in order to offer the very best cutting edge services, security and privacy protection to our clients. Upgrading to the dependability and affordability of the PANGAEA fiber optic connections was necessary for the security of our project. Ken Griffin and James Green from PANGAEA made the transition seamless. Our partnership with the PANGAEA team is essential to delivering the quality services our clients deserve and expect.

PANGAEA Internet Selected to Provide Broadband Service for FEI World Equestrian Games

 

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
PANGAEA Internet Selected to Provide Broadband Service
for FEI World Equestrian Games

TRYON, N.C. / September 5, 2018 – PANGAEA Internet (PANGAEA), the leading commercial provider of high-speed fiber optic internet service for Polk and Rutherford counties, has been selected as the primary internet services provider for the FEI World Equestrian Games, which will be held Sept. 11-23 at the Tryon International Equestrian Center in Tryon, N.C.

“We are thrilled to play such an important role in the World Equestrian Games,” said Ron Walters, executive director of PANGAEA Internet. “The games will bring unmatched excitement and opportunity to our area and will showcase the region to worldwide visitors.”
 
The FEI World Equestrian Games, held every four years in the middle of the Olympic cycle, is one of the largest events on the global sporting calendar, combining eight equestrian World Championship-caliber events in one location. This year’s competition marks the eighth edition of the games and the second time they have been held in North America. The event has the potential to be the largest sporting event in North Carolina history—with a projected economic impact of $400 million, 500,000 spectators across 13 days and more than 70 countries represented.
 
PANGAEA is the primary internet services provider for this year’s venue, the Tryon International Equestrian Center. For the past 12 months, PANGAEA has conducted an extensive network upgrade in order to meet the event’s expected internet demands. “In preparation for the bandwidth demand of the games, PANGAEA has increased our network capacity by a factor of 10 for the month of September,” said Ken Griffin, PANGAEA Internet’s operations director.


PANGAEA Internet (pan-GEE-ah) is a non-profit provider of “Speed of Light” fiber optic internet service. Our network currently serves customers at more than 250 locations across Polk and Rutherford counties, including public school districts, city and county governments, health care facilities and local businesses. Visit us online at www.pangaea.us, or contact Executive Director Ron Walters at 828-859-3072.

 
 
 

Great job guys, thank you

The Site manager at Tryon told me that he was impressed and very happy with the level of service that PANGAEA was providing and that I would be as well. He was correct. Great job guys, thank you.

Ervin Norman, Dover Saddlery, Mill Spring, NC

PANGAEA came thru when others couldn’t

PANGAEA came thru when others couldn’t. We needed enough bandwidth in a remote area for one of our outlying customers. This supported the bandwidth we required for VOIP and Video in a cost effective solution.

Jason Reynolds, Pay-Tel Communications, Inc., Columbus, NC

PANGAEA is great

PANGAEA is great, reliable, easy to work with and local.

Tim Turner II, Main Street Insurance, Rutherfordton, NC

They come highly recommended

Never a problem with my internet service. We have had nothing but success and reliability from this provider!!  They come highly recommended.

Rhonda Jones, Carolina Cabinetry and Flooring, Spindale, NC

Great service with fast speeds to meet the needs of our office.

Great service with fast speeds to meet the needs of our office. Have been with PANGAEA for the past few years and plan on staying with them in the future.

Robert Rash, Breakthrough Chiropractic Clinic, PA, Spindale, NC

We love our partnership with PANGAEA

We love our partnership with PANGAEA and now the Dutch Broad Restaurant at Cliffside can offer free Wi-Fi to our customers and local students.

Jason Drum, Cliffside Restoration Company, LLC, Mooresboro, NC

PANGAEA has allowed our business and many of our customers to thrive

Great to have reliable, robust bandwidth in a rural area that is traditionally challenged with providing these. They have allowed our business and many of our customers to thrive.

Dana Conner, Conner Computer Consultants, Inc., Rutherfordton, NC

No down time, reliable service, no price increases

PANGAEA has been excellent. No down time, reliable service, no price increases, and no “nickel and diming”. Would recommend to any business. They hold to their word and seem genuinely interested in just providing reliable fast internet rather than finding ways to introduce new fees.

Samuel Staton, Staton CPA, P.C., Rutherfordton, NC

I have found PANGAEA to be the most reliable and cost effective internet solution in our area

TeamCFA Foundation Inc. is a non-profit catalyst for school choice. We are growing a network of free, public charter schools. We are a totally cloud based operation headquartered in Forest City, NC. It is imperative that we have reliable internet service. In research and personal experience, I have found PANGAEA to be the most reliable and cost effective internet solution available in our area.

Jennifer McCluney, TeamCFA Foundation, Forest City, NC

I’m very thankful for this valuable internet service option

We’ve had PANGAEA Internet service at our business office (Allrail Inc) for many years and at our church for a few (Midway Baptist). I can’t say enough about the rock solid connection we have at both locations. We experience very consistent speeds, it’s always on, and they provide the highest quality technical service I’ve seen anywhere. On several occasions they’ve gone above and beyond to advise us on internal networking setups that were not even part of the service PANGAEA provides. I’m very thankful for this valuable internet service option.

David Swain, All Rail, Rutherfordton, NC / Midway Baptist Church, Columbus, NC

I cannot recommend PANGAEA enough

At First Baptist Church, Rutherfordton, NC, we could not be more pleased with the quality of internet we’ve received for the price that we are paying. It is fast, reliable, and secure! It serves our church staff and office well, along with our members and guests who use our guest access. I cannot recommend PANGAEA enough!

Tim Marsh, First Baptist Church of Rutherfordton, NC

Without their service, I would be unable to do my job and live in this community

PANGAEA has revolutionized business internet access in Polk County. Without their service, I would be unable to do my job and live in this community – I’d have to choose. With PANGAEA, I get the best of the Foothills and reliable, business-grade internet.

Justin Wallace, Sustainable Impact, LLC

This is an organization that feels more like a group of friends than a typical business services provider

The PANGAEA bandwidth (enormous) and price (very competitive) are the best I have ever encountered! The people at PANGAEA are very friendly and knowledgeable. This is an organization that feels more like a group of friends than a typical business services provider. I HIGHLY recommend PANGAEA for your business, and I dearly wish I could get it for my home!!!

Richard Routh, Victorum, Inc., Columbus, NC
