Membership Spotlight: Horry Telephone Cooperative (HTC)
The Aynor Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to spotlight a company that has been keeping our communities connected for generations — Horry Telephone Cooperative, better known as HTC.
Connecting Our Communities Since 1952
Founded in 1952, HTC has grown to become the nation’s largest telecommunications cooperative, serving communities throughout Horry, Georgetown, and Marion counties.
And while technology has changed quite a bit since 1952, HTC’s focus on connecting the people and businesses of our area has remained at the heart of what they do.
Today, their extensive fiber network helps connect homes, businesses, and rural communities throughout our region.
A Lot More Than Telephone
The word Telephone may still be in the name, but HTC has come a long way since the days of simply connecting a phone call.
Their services include:
🌐 High-speed fiber internet
📱 Mobile services
📺 Video services
🏠 Home security & automation
☎️ Digital phone services
💼 Residential & business solutions
From streaming at home and running a business to protecting your property and keeping your family connected, HTC provides technology designed for the way our communities live and work today.
Local. Member-Owned. Cooperative.
One thing that makes HTC different is its cooperative structure.
Rather than operating as a traditional commercial corporation, HTC is member-owned. That cooperative model keeps its members and the communities it serves at the center of the organization.
For a rural area like ours, reliable connectivity is more than a convenience. It helps local businesses operate, students learn, families stay connected, and communities grow.
Local Support When You Need It
HTC also provides 24/7 technical support, giving customers access to assistance when connection problems don’t exactly wait for regular business hours.
