Customers’ Verdict

“Prior to our fibre network transformation, our services were limited due to our copper loop lengths. However, now that we are 100 percent fibre, we can bring gigabit speeds, advanced video services, and home networking packages to every customer we serve. There are no more limits to what we can do.”

– Carrie Huckeby, Chief Marketing Officer, West Kentucky and Tennessee Telecommunications Cooperative
