There’s change happening at the speed of light in rural communities across America. High-speed broadband is the future, and the future becomes more accessible with every mile of state-of-the-art fiber optic technology. Construction of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks makes it possible to deliver reliable broadband Internet service to previously unserved and underserved communities, transforming lives and livelihoods across the United States.
World-class fiber broadband will now be accessible directly from rural broadband design and construction management leader Conexon. Connect is a new Internet service provider (ISP) created and structured by Conexon to operate fiber networks throughout rural America.

Electric Cooperatives Positioned to Guide Broadband Progress at the Speed of Light
Across rural America, cooperatives are transforming communities with high-speed broadband Internet, one mile of fiber at a time.
At the forefront of the broadband movement are electric cooperatives. Cooperatives have illuminated rural America since the 1940s with the advent of reliable electric power. Now, they play the same key role in the introduction of broadband, leveraging the structures and principles to build out world-class fiber network infrastructure for the benefit of their membership and communities.
Electric cooperatives are the ideal choice to bring broadband to rural communities because they have the passion, determination and resources to make change happen.

When Can I Get Connected?
At this time, Connect’s projects are in the very early planning stages. We are working with local electric cooperatives to determine where we will build first. Partnership with co-ops means we will be building out to your home or business – the fiber network will reach 100% of members in our partners’ service territories.
As you might imagine, a project of that magnitude takes time, and buildouts in each territory likely will occur over 3-5 years. We will communicate frequently as we make progress.
