Elizabeth City, N.C.– Fybe, a broadband service provider and a subsidiary of Roanoke Cooperative, confirms expanding services in Elizabeth City. The expansion brings fiber internet to over 14,620 homes and businesses in this community.
"We are committed to bringing reliable and fast broadband to more of our state," said Bo Coughlin, COO of Fybe.
