"This initiative has been a huge success. The cooperative has greater operational flexibility to improve reliability, and we have received tremendously positive feedback from members whose children are now able to access and do their assignments from home," said Tom Wolfenbarger, General Manager of Butler Rural Electric Cooperative.
"We also understand that there is more work to do, and we are so pleased that our partnership with altafiber is going to continue and bring connectivity to all of our customers."
altafiber is the leading supplier of fiber-based services in Greater Cincinnati and has invested more than $1 billion into expanding its fiber network across the region. Broadband Internet plays a critical role in driving economic development opportunities, creating digital equity, and supporting the public sector's commitment to more efficient government.
