There’s never been a better time to get all of your television programming via the Internet. You could save hundreds of dollars a year by transitioning from traditional pay TV to online streaming video.
I’ve talked a lot about Tipmont’s mission of empowering the communities we serve. To empower is a recognition that you, our customers, are the engine of success. Our role is to simply provide the necessary raw materials like electric energy and very soon, broadband.

We believe you shouldn’t be limited in how you utilize those tools.

In last month’s article, I shared that Tipmont is bringing fiber broadband internet to our members.
