CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — It’s a great feeling to know you’re supporting local business. But are there benefits beyond boosting your community’s economy? InfoWest, Southern Utah’s original internet service provider since 1994, knows there’s no substitute for the connection you get from a homegrown company.

From the early days of dial-up to the future of fiber, InfoWest has evolved, adapted and remained on the cutting edge of internet technology. The company now proudly employs over 100 Southern Utah residents, which means it’s big enough to offer the resources of a local corporation yet small enough to care about every customer.

“InfoWest is your local internet provider,” marketing director Josh Kaneversky said. “One of the things we’re most proud of is our award-winning customer support, continuing the tradition of providing the ultimate internet experience in Southern Utah.” 

What should I look for in an internet provider?

When shopping for internet service, check the upload and download speeds offered by each plan. InfoWest offers symmetrical upload and download speeds, allowing customers to add important files to the cloud as quickly as they can stream their favorite movies. 

The only thing more frustrating and inconvenient than an internet outage is added stress from a lackluster support team. The best internet provider for your home or business will have efficient customer service and fast, reliable connectivity at gigabit speeds. InfoWest offers 24/7 tech assistance via a local phone number from people who live and work in their community.

Gigabit speeds are a game-changer in today’s world, Kaneversky said. InfoWest technicians are trained to identify each customer’s internet usage priorities and help them get the most out of their service, whether they’re streaming, gaming, studying, working remotely or running a business. 

What are the benefits of a local internet provider? 

Along with creating jobs in Southern Utah, InfoWest also gives back to the community in myriad ways. The company donated backpacks to children in need across Southern Utah and the Moapa Valley and was named “Business of the Year” by Root for Kids. Multiple employees serve on local nonprofit boards and participate in planning meetings for great events around town. 

InfoWest also is inspiring the next generation of forward-thinking professionals through guest lectures at Utah Tech University and Dixie Technical College as well as sponsorships of robotics competitions, a code camp and a STEAM camp.

“When a provider cares about their community, that means they will care about you,” Kaneversky said.

What type of connection will I need?

More people and devices are surfing the internet today than ever before, and all of them have different connectivity needs. For many customers, it’s all about speed. Some prioritize reliability and network uptime, and others still are focused on quick, easy access to tech support. 

Choosing the internet connection that best fits your life is key to keeping up with this fast-paced modern world. Faster internet improves quality of life, makes working from home easier and has been shown to increase home values, Kaneversky said. 

The internet provider of choice for many local businesses and events, InfoWest brings high-speed connectivity, including fiber and FiberWave, to communities across Southern Utah. The company also offers VoIP internet-based phone service well as home and business alarm systems. 

How do I finalize my decision? 

InfoWest offers connectivity you can count on for all your devices. The company’s business and residential internet services, which include high-speed wireless internet, fiber and FiberWave, are faster than ever before, with no data caps, no bandwidth metering and no hidden fees.

So, what’s next for InfoWest? The possibilities are endless, Kaneversky said. The company reinvests heavily into its network to ensure it remains on the cutting edge of the ever-changing tech landscape while providing the best speed and reliability available.

“The future has never been brighter,” he added. “InfoWest is not only bringing FiberWave to Southern Utah, but we’re also laying fiber lines across our hometown. This dual-band approach gives us even greater reliability and gives internet users the choices they want.”
