As your hometown telecommunications provider, we want to assure you that we are looking into ways that we can further support the communities and families in our service area during this difficult time. Since the news broke that the schools we serve will be closed for the remainder of the semester, we have been working on ways to help students have access to an Internet connection, regardless of financial status.

We have been in communication with the nine school districts in our service area, and one way we are helping is by coordinating efforts to set up free Wi-Fi hotspots for students to use for their schoolwork. We ask that the community reserve these connections for this purpose so the students have the bandwidth they need to continue their education.

You can find a free Wi-Fi hotspot drive-up location near you, listed below.

Parents, we encourage you to practice social distancing while you are using these connections. Stay in your car or, as the weather improves, keep at least 6 feet between you and other families if you choose to sit outside.

During this unprecedented situation, we will continue to keep you and our employees at the center of our planning and decision-making.
