C Spire helps Belhaven University become first college in Mississippi to provide ultra-fast fiber optic Gigabit Internet service for students


Belhaven University has signed an agreement with C Spire to become the first college in Mississippi to offer students Gigabit Internet access and related SuperTM HD television service.

The agreement was announced Monday by university officials and C Spire representatives and will also provide wireless phones, voice over IP phone service and dedicated high-speed fiber optic Internet access to the 400 full-time faculty and administration on the 50-acre campus in northeast Jackson.

All 700 residential Belhaven students living in the University's six residence halls will receive the next generation services, which include 1 Gbps (Gigabit per second) broadband Internet access up to 6.5 times faster than the speediest broadband connections on most U.S. college campuses today and super HD TV service with dedicated DVRs in each residence hall room.
