Our history
In 1939, we served our first customer with electricity and began a more than 80-year mission to enhance the quality of life for our community. As our infrastructure grew and changed over the decades, we soon realized that we could give local homes, schools, and businesses better access to communications technology. So in keeping with our mission of service, we created the first community-wide fiber optic network.
In 2010, we began offering every home and business in our service area access to gigabit-speed internet (1,000 Mbps). Chattanooga became famous throughout the nation as “Gig City,℠” attracting tech companies, startups, and entrepreneurs. The result? A high-tech town with a booming economy.
Times have certainly changed in our more than 80-year history, but our mission has remained the same. To this day, we constantly seek ways to improve our services and create new products to meet our customers’ needs and help them thrive in our fast, everchanging modern world.
