Happy August, friends! Just last week, our Ignite and Dickson Electric System (DES) team reached a major project milestone:
We are now proudly serving more than 10,000 active subscribers!
When we began building this fiber network 4 years ago, we knew reliable, high-speed internet was desperately needed throughout our service area. And still, witnessing 10,000 local families, businesses, schools, organizations, and community partners place their trust in Ignite has been so incredibly meaningful, rewarding, and humbling. Every connection represents someone working from home, running a business, completing homework, streaming a favorite show, staying connected with loved ones, or simply enjoying internet service that makes everyday life a little lighter, gentler, easier.
Reaching this milestone would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our DES and Ignite employees and the many partners who have helped bring this project to life. From designing and building the network to installing services, supporting customers, and keeping everything running around the clock, this has truly been a team effort. Later this month, we look forward to celebrating this accomplishment with the entire Dickson Electric staff who have worked so hard to make it possible.
Most importantly, we want to celebrate and thank you—our customers and communities. Your enthusiasm, patience, encouragement, referrals, gratitude, and continued support have helped Ignite grow into what it is today. We remain incredibly grateful for the warmth we have received as we’ve moved from town to town, connecting more of the thriving communities served by Dickson Electric System.
While 10,000 active customers is certainly worth celebrating, our work is far from finished. We remain focused on continuing to expand access, improving the customer experience, supporting our local communities, and providing the reliable, affordable, local internet service our customers deserve.
Ignite Broadband is here for the right reasons, y’all. We are part of this community; we live here, work here, play here, send our kids to school here, coach soccer here, worship here, shop here, and we’re committed to investing in long-term, sustainable solutions that benefit the people and places we serve. We deliver fast, fully reliable fiber internet without the mess: no contracts, no data caps, no throttling, no overseas call centers, no tricky promotional pricing, and no hidden fees.
To each of our first 10,000 customers: thank you for choosing local and trusting Ignite Broadband to keep you connected. We are honored and so grateful to serve you— and we’re just getting started! Share the good news with your friends and neighbors. We’re built for you.
