HTC Membership

HTC offers membership benefits to all customers receiving at least one qualifying service. Previously, membership was limited to the geographical service boundary established by the South Carolina Public Service Commission in 1952 and was only available to those with traditional telephone and/or cable television service.

However, effective January 1, 2011, HTC is able to grant full membership based on your subscription to any of the following qualifying HTC services: telephone, cable television, high-speed internet and data, mobile telephone and security monitoring; regardless of your service location.

Members receive the following key benefits:

  • Eligibility for Capital Credits - Membership in a cooperative represents ownership of that organization. While HTC operates as a "non-profit" cooperative, when a profit is earned these profits are allocated back to the members in the form of capital credits. So as your cooperative enjoys financial success, as a member of HTC, you share in the success as well. Your portion of those credits is based upon the revenue that is generated by your services. The more services you have with HTC, the greater the opportunity for increased capital credits. While the allocation and payment of capital credits is dependent upon the Cooperative's operating condition and need for future capital, we have been able to pay over $90 million back to our members since 1979.
  • Voting Rights - You will now be entitled to vote on important matters including the election of our board of directors. Each member is entitled to one vote.
  • Competitive Pricing - Members of the Cooperative share in very competitive pricing on our products and services.
  • Community Focus - Members can take pride in the fact that the money that is generated in this community is used in this community to improve the quality of life for all.

At HTC, we are committed to being the preferred provider for telephone, cable television, high-speed internet and data, mobile telephone and security monitoring. It is our job to keep you, our member, connected to family, businesses, friends and the world everyday. We take pride in our products, our employees and our service. HTC invites you to enjoy all of the benefits of membership!
