Socket Fiber Story: Shannon Thompson
Shannon Thompson is used to being “out in the middle of nowhere.” Her family loves the peace and privacy that their rural property provides. She used to assume this came with a cost, though. No cell phone reception. No high-speed Internet. No premium television service.
So when she heard Socket was bringing fiber-optic technology to her area, Shannon was excited. She’d been eagerly awaiting access to high-speed Internet, and she was one of the first in her area to sign up for it.

Socket Fiber Needs a Name
We think it's time our fiber-optic service had its own distinct name.
A name that conveys the amazing ability of fiber to transfer voice and data using lasers and light and glass strands. Something that sets it apart from DSL, wireless, satellite and cable. Because it's so much faster, so much more reliable and much more capable of meeting the demands of tomorrow's Internet.

Happy New Year!
We've been busy installing new customers over the past few months after the final portions of our coverage area officially opened for sales this fall.
However, the weather lately has not been ideal for installations. Our construction crews are not able to bury lines directly to new customers' homes because of the frozen ground.
