Softcom Internet Communications, Inc.

Out here, one connection has to do it all at once. Somebody working, a kid gaming, another on homework, Grandma on video with the baby, and dinner coming off a YouTube video. With the right internet, nobody thinks about it. With the wrong one, it's all anybody thinks about.

How many things are pulling on your internet at 7 o'clock on a weeknight? 👇

Out here, upload speed is the number nobody talks about, and it's the one that actually matters.

Softcom's Freedom GIG delivers 1,000 Mbps down and 200 Mbps up over our own fixed wireless network. That upload is up to 10X what Starlink or the cellular home internet carriers typically push out here. It's the difference between a Zoom call that holds steady, security cameras that actually stream, and two people working from home without fighting over bandwidth.

A new customer in Acampo put it simply: "You're the only provider in my rural area that can deliver 1 Gig speeds."

Now serving Galt, Lodi, Acampo, Herald, Elk Grove, Stockton and surrounding areas. California's First Rural Gigabit, locally owned since 1992.

Out here, "1 Gig" usually means a number on a brochure you'll never actually see at your address.

Softcom delivers it for real. 1,000 down, 200 up, to rural Central Valley homes that cable, fiber, and the cellular carriers wrote off years ago.

The upload is the part nobody else can touch. Up to 10X what Starlink or 5G home internet deliver out here. That's the gap in the chart above, and it's the difference between a Zoom call that freezes at 7pm and one that holds steady while the cameras stream and someone else works from the next room.

No other provider built for rural Central Valley can deliver these speeds. The towers are here. The HQ is in Galt. The phone gets answered by people who live minutes from your front door.

Give us a call. Or stop by.

Out here, the providers actually delivering gig speeds are fiber, cable, and well-deployed fixed wireless. Starlink and 5G home internet aren't selling gig, they're selling something different. Starlink: a roof dish that promises "works anywhere there's sky." 5G home: a small box on your counter that promises half the price.

Here's what those mailers don't tell you: 5G home internet is leftover cell tower capacity, repackaged as a home internet product. When your neighbor's phone is busy, your home internet is whatever's left over. And Starlink in the Central Valley typically delivers around 172 Mbps down with 23 Mbps up, not the gig numbers a lot of people assume.

Nobody advertises upload speed either, which is the number that actually decides whether your Zoom call holds up at 7pm. A "1,200 Mbps" plan with 35 Mbps upload feels slower than a 200 Mbps plan with 100 Mbps upload the moment two people are on video calls.

Just published a full breakdown on the blog if you want the honest version: fiber vs coax vs wireless, what the brochures hide, and what to actually look for at your address.

Another Acampo customer just felt the difference.

N. Graham Rd upgraded to Freedom GIG and pulled 1,100 Mbps down with 254 Mbps up. That's not city fiber. That's a local Acampo tower delivering Gig speeds up to 8 miles out across vineyards and farmland.

Cellular and satellite networks share bandwidth across whoever's online, and phones get priority over home internet customers. Softcom's Freedom GIG runs on fixed wireless from a local Acampo tower built and managed for home internet first, which means your speed at 7 PM matches your speed at 7 AM.
