Earlier this week, the company opened free WiFi hotspots in NewWave local office parking lots across its footprint for public use during the crisis in order to keep individuals and communities connected. The company will work to open additional WiFi hotspots in other public areas in the coming days and weeks.

Beginning March 13, 2020, NewWave made unlimited data available on all internet services for 30 days and committed to waiving late fees and deferring payments for its customers for 60 days.

The company also stands ready to support critical infrastructure with speed upgrades and other requests to ensure ongoing and reliable service for local educators and health care professionals, including customers under federal rural healthcare and E-rate programs.

NewWave will continue evaluating all measures being taken based on the ongoing impact and evolving nature of the pandemic.

“A fast and reliable internet connection has never been more important for staying in touch with family, friends, school and work,” said Julie Laulis, President and CEO. “Being a local connectivity provider means we are there for our communities in difficult times like these, and we remain committed to keeping our customers connected and supporting them through this crisis.”
