Community NewsHuntington Beach Community is First to Test NewInternet Service

HUNTINGTON BEACH...This past weekend, Kwikbit hosted a few events that brought
together local residents and their teams for an afternoon of fun, learning, and
community building at Rancho Del Rey, Huntington Beach Gables and Huntington
Harbour Village. We're thrilled to report that the event was a huge success, with
residents eager to interact with the Kwikbit team and learn more about their services.
The event captured some of the best moments, such as residents meeting the team,
participating in activities, and learning about technology.

A key community sandwiched between million-dollar houses lining Huntington Beach’s
Golden Coast, is finally getting low-cost, high-speed internet - closing a hidden digital
divide. Kwikbit Internet this weekend is launching at Rancho Del Rey, Huntington
Beach Gables, and Huntington Harbour Village - providing a service to seniors, and
other underserved residents. Locals like Lee Gragnano, in HB Gables have dealt with
expensive and often choppy internet for decades. Lee may not live in a $40 million
home, but now he can surf the web faster and get the important public services he
needs for only $50 a month.

In addition to keeping residents connected, accessible internet strengthens public
safety in Huntington Beach. In times of natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, or rip
currents, a strong internet connection is indispensable to receive timely warnings and
evacuation notices. With the launch of Kwikbit internet, residents will have access to
stay informed about weather emergencies and potential hazards.

California has bold aspirations to ensure broadband internet in all unserved and
underserved communities, and Kwikbit Internet is leading this effort throughout the
southland and in Huntington Beach. By empowering residents with high-speed
internet, Kwikbit is opening doors to a different kind of wealth of opportunities.

In honor of Earth Month and Earth Day on April 22. Kwikbit pledged $5 to the Bolsa
Chica Conservancy for each sign-up on the event days. This is an honorable pledge to
help protect endangered wildlife and flower species while also conserving the beautiful
wetlands.
Reliable internet access fosters social connection and community engagement,
allowing residents to stay connected with loved ones, participate in virtual events, and
access important information and services online. This sense of connectivity is not just
about faster internet, it's about fostering a more vibrant environment andstrengthening the fabric of the Huntington Beach community. By investing in high-
speed internet infrastructure, Kwikbit will not only improve the quality of life for mobile home park residents but also lay the foundation for a more prosperous and
inclusive future. Photos:Kwikbit
