Jesse Haralson of Bogue Chitto, a rural community of less than 500 residents located in southwest Mississippi, works from home managing field asset information and dispatching maintenance and construction tasks for a power distribution and transmission company. His job requires a fast and stable internet connection, and as an avid PC gamer in his spare time, so does his downtime. However, where Jesse lives means there are limited options to stay connected for work and play – for years, the best option was satellite internet.
While satellite internet kept him online, it came with a costly monthly bill. But most other internet options in Jesse’s area only delivered 10 Mbps speeds and required contracts or internet service bundled with landline phone bills. As a father with childcare expenses on top of the hefty monthly satellite internet bill, Jesse needed a more stable, sustainable and affordable connection.
In January 2025, Jesse made the switch to Conexon Connect fiber internet, opting for the 1 Gigabit speed tier that provides 1,000 Mbps upload and download speeds. What Jesse discovered after making the switch completely changed his internet experience.
“Conexon fiber has given me a more reliable, a more affordable, and a more flexible internet solution,” Jesse said. He no longer deals with an unreliable connection or inconsistent or slow speeds. “The advertised speeds are what’s provided,” he added.
Since experiencing the fiber internet difference, Jesse has recommended Conexon Connect to family members in the area, and everyone has reported satisfaction with the service. He is thrilled that Conexon Connect has been able to quickly install customers in the even more rural areas around Bogue Chitto, where his family lives.
Ten years ago, Jesse said he could never imagine the internet connection he is receiving. “I still remember my family’s first dial-up connection, when it would take minutes to load an image,” he said. Today, Jesse and his family are experiencing the internet like never before!
