A Minnesota-based internet service provider for mobile home parks is beginning to ramp up its services in Las Vegas.
Kwikbit Internet launched its internet services to Carefree Mobile Home Community, located in northeast Las Vegas near Nellis Air Force Base, on Thursday. This is the 28th mobile home park where the company has launched its services in the U.S. and the fourth in Nevada, according to Kwikbit.
The upload speed of Kwikbit’s internet is one gigabit per second and costs $50 per month with no contracts, Pete Buchner, vice president of marketing for Kwikbit, said. Cox offers a one gigabit internet speed package for $99 a month, according to its website.
Kwikbit is able to offer lower prices because the company has lower infrastructure costs, Buchner said. He said the company taps into existing landline fiber optic lines and leases services from the companies that own those lines. It then transmits internet signals from the fiber lines through equipment installed throughout mobile home communities.
Kwikbit already operates in two other mobile home parks in Las Vegas, with services beginning last year, and it launched in another community in Reno in February.
Here are the other mobile home parks that Kwikbit operates in:
