Remote work is on the rise—and not just in the last year. Sure, the past 365 days brought on a massive surge in the number of remote workers. But believe it or not, the interest in remote work has been trending upwards for almost a decade. It turns out that the past year just expedited the inevitable!

There are many reasons to go remote: your office is wherever you are, which means that you get excellent job flexibility. You choose where you work and how you work! In many positions, you can set your own schedule and choose your own hours. You can spend more time with your family. And let’s face it: some people just feel more comfortable working from home. But what is the necessity you’ll need if you want to work from home? A fast and reliable Internet connection! And what better place could there be other than right here in Brunswick County, N.C., living by the beach!

So, What Makes an Ideal WFH Location?
The number-one requirement for a good work-from-home location is fast, reliable Internet access. For us at FOCUS Broadband, that means providing internet speeds up to 1 Gig! Working from home is a two-way experience, with video calls and file uploads. Unlike most cable providers, fiber optic delivered internet from FOCUS Broadband offers symmetrical speeds, without throttling or data caps.

Recently, PC Magazine named Belville, N.C. one of the Best Cities for Remote Work in 2022 because of its Fiber Optic internet resource to residents - and FOCUS Broadband is proud to be named their fiber optic internet provider! How great that one of our own local cities is now named one of the Best Cities in 2022 for remote work! Additionally, Shallotte, N.C., another Brunswick County city, was named to this prestigious list for Best Cities for Remote Work in 2021. Having Fiber Optic Internet doesn’t just increase the value of your home, but it also brings more opportunities for residents and creates a better economy for the areas we serve.
FOCUS Broadband’s Fiber Optic network is continuing to expand to rural areas like, Columbus County, Pender County, Duplin County and Robeson County. Over the next few years, we are committed to replacing our DOCSIS cable with Fiber throughout our entire service area of Brunswick County.

We’ve seen here at FOCUS Broadband that many people in the local community are switching from office work to now working from home. Our CEO, Keith Holden, had this to say about our work to deliver the best service possible to residents of Brunswick County, “Because our customers have evolved in how they use communications services, we are evolving with them and delivering new technologies and a broadband connection capable of meeting their needs for years to come.”

If you want faster internet and you’re ready to start working remotely, there are lots of job opportunities out there for you to explore, and you can rely on FOCUS Broadband to keep you connected!
