Today, the need for Internet is becoming more and more evident. People can do things more efficiently and effectively thanks to the Internet.

As more devices become Internet compatible, connections will begin to lag and can become congested if you don’t have access to high bandwidth. The residents of Savannah Lakes Village have all the bandwidth they need through “fiber-to-the-home” service.

NeighborLink Email System

We have a private, policy-governed community email information system called NeighborLink. It’s a convenient way for neighbors to share information, ask questions, sell personal items, or stay up to date with community events. NeighborLink started as a volunteer effort by community members years ago, and it has grown into a heavily utilized, beloved fixture in our community.

Cellular Service

Most members are well served by one of the major national cellular networks. Our community is spread out over a large area, so there are some places where calls may be dropped and service isn’t as reliable. However, generally speaking, members and guests are able to get good cell service throughout most of Savannah Lakes.
