Description

About Us:

We’re small town techies, and Kansans, at heart. We want to see our communities thrive. Good hospitals, schools, booming businesses. If we can help make that happen with our fast internet, we are all about it. The thing is, we didn’t get into broadband because we wanted to start a business in Kansas. We started a business because we wanted to provide broadband to Kansans. There’s a difference. We’re not a corporation, we’re a small crew with huge aspirations. When you call us, you’ll get a real person — a local — on the phone who cares about you and your community. And when you’re ready for the fastest internet in the country, we’ll come running.

We offer an inspiring environment with meaningful work, where employees are encouraged to think creatively, imagine the unthinkable and deliver the highest quality of service.
