Community Focus: Bridging the Digital Divide
Being local isn’t just a fact about our business – it’s the heart of how we operate. We live and
work in the same communities we serve. From Gladewater, Kilgore, and Longview to Gilmer,
Big Sandy and all the rural areas in between, Skynet Country is deeply invested in East Texas. When our neighbors succeed, we succeed. We strive to support local schools, community events, and small businesses whenever possible. You might spot us at a charity fundraiser or see our team volunteering at a local fair – we’re your neighbors, and we care about the future of this region.
Our commitment to closing the digital divide runs deep. We know that a lack of internet access can hold entire communities back. A student shouldn’t have to sit in a fast food parking lot for Wi-Fi to do their homework, and a farmer shouldn’t be left without modern online tools. By extending our network into rural and underserved areas, we’re helping level the playing field. Each new tower we install and each new customer we connect means one more household has access to opportunities in education, healthcare, and e-commerce. It’s about making sure East Texans aren’t left behind in the digital age. We’re proud to be part of statewide efforts to expand broadband, but our focus will always remain on our home turf – the families and
businesses within roughly 50 miles of Gladewater that we call our community.
And we’re not stopping anytime soon. We are continuously upgrading and gradually expanding our reach to bring you the best internet product possible. Every year, we push our coverage a little further and improve speeds for existing clients. If your area doesn’t have Skynet service yet, rest assured we’re working hard to get there. Our dream is that one day, every home in East Texas, no matter how rural, has access to fast, reliable internet at a fair price.
