Coastal Kids Dental & Braces Working to Make Patients' Appointments Convenient and Efficient

    CHARLESTON, SC, December 11, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Home Telecom's future-proof fiber network is, without a doubt, the star of the company's infrastructure. Equally fast upload and download Internet speeds are one of fiber's top benefits and if you doubt the need for such speeds, just ask Dr. Isabel Driggers, Owner and Founder of Coastal Kids Dental and Braces. "We are constantly sending X-rays to and from our centralized servers and as a result both upload and download speeds are critical in providing efficient patient care," said Dr Isabel.

Connected Business Solutions powered by Home Telecom was able to provide Coastal Dental and Braces an affordably priced 55 Mbps symmetrical Internet connection with a direct fiber link to their Moncks Corner office. Symmetrical means having the same speed of Internet for uploading files as downloading files. Symmetrical Internet is becoming more necessary as Internet users are sending as much data, such as photos and videos, as they are receiving. Fast, symmetrical Internet is especially needed for business applications such as the one being used by Coastal Dental and Braces - file sharing between offices. When sending X-rays between their three offices, the files need to be sent as quickly as received. Especially when caring for younger patients who would rather not have to sit still through a second X-ray if the first one was not clear.

Will Helmly, President and COO of Home Telecom, notes "Bandwidth demands are growing exponentially. The availability of fiber helps existing businesses remain competitive and helps attract new businesses to the area." Currently in the Charleston region of South Carolina, only Home Telecom routinely offers fiber directly to a home or business to provide super fast symmetrical Internet speeds. Helmly continues, "Thanks to our fiber network, we are able to affordably provide businesses -- regardless of their size -- the Internet speeds they need. We offer standard business Internet plans with symmetrical speeds ranging from 5 Mbps to 110 Mbps, as well as customized Internet speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps."

"Providing the highest quality Pediatric Dental & Orthodontic care in a patient focused environment is top priority at Coastal Kids. Reducing the amount of time a patient has to wait on an X-ray is part of that equation," said Dr. Isabel. "Home Telecom has been great to deal with in serving our office from the very beginning."
