ecoLINK is on the verge of an exciting milestone—20,000 fiber internet installations! This achievement is not just about numbers; it’s a testament to the power of cooperative partnerships, legislative support, and critical grant funding that have made rural broadband expansion possible.

From the beginning, ecoLINK’s mission has been clear: to bridge the digital divide by delivering fast, reliable fiber internet to underserved communities. Reaching this scale would not have been possible without the combined efforts of:

✅ Legislative Support – State and federal leaders have prioritized broadband expansion, creating opportunities for rural connectivity through policy initiatives and funding programs.
✅ Grant Funding – Programs such as the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and other broadband grants have provided essential resources to extend fiber infrastructure into hard-to-reach areas.
✅ Cooperative Commitment – As a subsidiary of East Central Electric Cooperative, ecoLINK continues to embody the cooperative spirit, reinvesting in the communities we serve and ensuring that rural areas are not left behind in the digital age.

With nearly 20,000 homes and businesses connected, we remain committed to expanding our network and advocating for continued investment in rural broadband. Thank you to our members, legislators, and partners for making this progress possible. Together, we’re building a more connected future!
