Hawaiian Telcom said it expanded availability of its High-Speed Internet service in Keaau’s Orchidland Estates subdivision on Hawaii island.

The technology company said Monday it deployed High-Speed Internet service to more than 500 locations in Orchidland Estates from 34th to 41st avenues and from Pohaku Drive to Ainaloa Boulevard. All locations will qualify for 4 megabits per second downstream and 1 megabit per second upstream.

Interested residents should call Hawaiian Telcom’s Consumer Sales Center at 643-3456. A valid street address is required.

The utility said its expansion was accelerated due to approximately $400,000 in support from the Federal Communications Commission’s Connect America Fund.

With additional CAF support of approximately $1 million, Hawaiian Telcom continues its broadband expansion on Hawaii island and will deploy service to more than 1,300 additional locations in the Hawaii Ocean View Estates, Honaunau, Keaau, Mountain View and Volcano communities by the end of this year. Hawaiian Telcom initially deployed broadband to parts of Orchidland Estates in 2003.
