\u201cWe understand and I think everyone understands how important it is to remain connected digitally for every household, whether you\u2019re working from home or you have kids at home,\u201d Jai Ramachandran, Wire 3 Chief Executive Officer, told GrowthSpotter. \u201cFiber optic internet has revolutionized the way we connect to the internet.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s more reliable and future-proof, Ramachandran said. Lake County residents will soon start seeing Wire 3 trucks in their neighborhoods working on utility construction. Once that infrastructure is established, Wire 3 will not only be able to provide internet with speeds up to 10Gbps, but potentially more in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout changing out the network that\u2019s underground, just changing out some electronics, we could easily upgrade that network to 100 Gbps within the next year,\u201d Ramachandran said. \u201cWe don\u2019t plan on doing it because there\u2019s no practical use for 100 Gb right now, but it\u2019s capable.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the first residential and commercial customers are expected to be connected by late 2025, getting all of Leesburg, Eustis, Tavares and Mount Dora connected will take 12-24 months, Ramachandran said. Wire 3 is already available in some municipalities in Volusia, Brevard, Marion, Orange and St. Lucie Counties.<\/p>\n
The internet provider currently offers three tiers for internet service with no data caps or download or upload limitations, and the price is the same for all of its service areas:<\/p>\n
Ascent, 1 Gbps, for $60 a month.
\nOrbit, 2.5 Gbps, for $80 a month.
\nWarp Speed, 10 Gbps, for $99 a month.<\/p>\n
Internet service in Lake County can range from $30 per month to $150 per month, depending on the speed and promotional pricing, among other things.<\/p>\n
Customers won\u2019t need to upgrade their home network should they switch to Wire 3 service, Ramachandran said. Wire 3 provides a Wifi router, which is powerful enough to cover most homes, but it also offers add-ons like Wifi extenders.<\/p>\n
Another perk, Ramachandran said, is that Wire 3\u2019s entire customer service team is based in Central Florida, headquartered in Daytona Beach. So when customers call or text in with an issue, they\u2019re talking to a local.<\/p>\n
While Wire 3 is focusing on four of Lake County\u2019s municipalities, there are plans to expand in the future \u2014 in Lake County, Florida and potentially beyond. But Wire 3 isn\u2019t ready to make those announcements yet, Ramachandran said.<\/p>\n
