I’ve always loved the fall season, and I’m not alone: according to an online survey, 41% of American adults named fall as their favorite season. Although we’re still knee-deep in oppressive humidity and triple-digit heat indexes, knowing that the month ahead brings a change in season leaves me feeling hopeful and looking forward to the beauty and nostalgia surrounding the sights, sounds, and smells of the season I love most!
This fall holds even more anticipation and excitement for the Ignite Broadband team as we officially wrap up the buildout of our fiber network! We started building our mainline backbone in the spring of 2023 and opened our first zone of Phase 1 that December. We had our plans in place to follow an industry-standard 4-phase buildout with hopes of wrapping the project up within 4 to 5 years. Just over 3 years later, we have opened up the first zone in our last phase and will have all of Phase 4 open for signups by late October! Our team has kept our collective head down and worked hard to overcome challenge after challenge, reached milestone after milestone, endured unprecedented storms (I’m lookin’ at you, Fern), and not just met but surpassed every team objective and project goal. I could not be more grateful or prouder of the team behind Ignite Broadband and Dickson Electric System.
With the opening of Phase 4 | Zone 5 planned for October 27, every Dickson Electric customer will officially have access to reliable, affordable, local, state-of-the-art, high-speed fiber internet. Every business on DES’s system will have access to a service provider committed to their success, providing fairly priced, highly reliable, blazing-fast internet and phone solutions to meet their business’s unique needs and save money on their bottom line.
Don’t just take it from me. (I admit, I’m quite biased.) Customers all across our DES communities who have made the switch to Ignite and finally said good riddance to those other guys, and they can’t stop sharing their own stories on Google. After 3 years in the game, we have a 4.6 Google Rating and have received overwhelmingly positive user feedback from our (10,000+!) current subscribers. The number of happy Ignite customers is increasing every day as more and more friends and neighbors are making the switch!
If you’ve been waiting, your wait is almost over. If you have been dragging your feet, pick ‘em up and don’t wait any longer! You’ll sleep better at night knowing that your money is staying right here in your community. And most importantly, if you need us, we are simply a phone call or quick trip away. Sign up online at ignitebroadband.com today, and you’ll have the best internet for your home or business, just in time for football season!
