With about 125 miles of fiber optic cable now being laid to serve Statesboro and Hinesville, Hargray Communications will become the fifth provider of fiber-based, high-speed Internet service in the Statesboro market. That total mileage includes cables being buried across rural stretches to connect the two new markets to Hargray's existing system from points near Savannah and Pooler. Locally, the system will consist at first of a 15-mile loop encompassing most of Statesboro, said Chris McCorkendale, Hargray Communications' vice president for operations.
