We would like to thank our customers for that! We are in full swing of the Bloomingdale Exchange Fiber Overlay Project. Unfortunately, Mother Nature wasn’t very forgiving in the spring & early summer causing unexpected construction delays. Although we did not make as much progress on the project as we’d hoped to in 2019; Our goal for 2020 is to have the entire Bloomingdale Exchange up & running on the new fiber network. We cannot thank our Bloomingdale Exchange customers enough for their patience and understanding. We know our rural internet customers are excited to finally bump up to 21st century internet speeds!
