Myrtle Beach metro area ranks No. 4 for slowest internet in the US for 2021

According to HTC officials, three factors primarily influence Wi-Fi pace in Myrtle Beach:

• Location - The best speed is achieved when the device is mounted in the center of the house. Don't hide it in the attic or wardrobe.

• Interference - All wireless systems relying on Wi-Fi at the same time. When your internet connection is sluggish, switch off all of your computers.

• Recognizing the facilities

According to HTC's Leslie Causey, "The Wi-Fi world and speeds are rapidly improving and expanding. And smartphones from two to three years back, such as the iPhone 5 or 6, are technically incapable of pulling the volume of Wi-Fi that an iPhone 11 or 12 would ".

Representatives in South Carolina have been calling for a million-dollar internet extension for months. HTC is now trying to close the gap.

Causey stated that they are collaborating with federal and state governments to secure funding to help bridge the digital divide.

To go further into the division, Causey stated that while all of Horry County has access to 300 MBPS, rural areas do not.

HTC also developed two maps with speed indicators that display places of need and what each region has access to within the district.

Worked from home and poor internet speeds over the last year, according to Causey, have aided in bringing these problems to light.

"It came to be that there were these districts where students couldn't use the internet, where students couldn't physically function from home," Causey said. “There are points on the world that will take you, but there is no one, and there is no internet access. They would physically go to a library or facility.

In addition to the money, Causey said that the internet provider is extending to areas of the district with the slowest speeds.
