Broadband 81 Expanding All Along Highway 81 and Jefferson County

0

We are expanding our Buried Fiber Internet Service to all the Communities along Highway 81 up to Chickasha. 

Buried Fiber Internet directly to the Premise is the Gold Standard for Internet Services that require maximum speeds upstream and downstream. 

Since the COVID19 pandemic there has been high demand for Distance Learning, Zoom meetings, and Telemedicine. All of these two way video services require fast speeds in both directions. All other Internet connections can’t offer these speeds. 

81 “True Fiber” Internet brings the fiber directly to your home or business. Some companies that offer “Fibet Internet” only have fiber to the town or neighborhoods, then they use old outdated lines to bring it to your premises. This limits speeds to the capacity of those old lines. 

Since you’re only as fast as your weakest connection, once we bring our True Fiber to your house or business, we provide a gigabit router that provides these great speeds directly to your devices over Super Fast WiFi. 

Our Gigabit True Fiber network will provide communities the maximum speeds and reliability the Internet has to offer. Streaming Video, Teleconferencing, Telemedicine, E-commerce, Gaming, and Security Cameras all require True Fiber to work best. 

True Fiber Internet provides the infrastructure to grow our communities, improve our healthcare, and advance our education. We are providing the tools for next generation Internet services that will give our customers the competitive advantage they deserve.

Meet the Candidates for District 3 Commissioner

Ricky Martin – Incumbent

Ricky Martin – Incumbent

Ricky Martin has served as County Commissioner for District 3 for the past 12 years. 

During that time he says he has not worked for a political party but for the citizens of Jefferson County. 

He says he wants to remind those who vote straight-party to remember to check the box with his name by it as well. 

Martin was raised in Terral his whole life, except for the two years he spent in the Army during the early 70s. 

For 13 years he worked for Rash Barrett. 

Martin loves his job as commissioner and loves hard work. 

He says his only frustration is the supply-chain shortages that has interfered with work. That and high gas prices has have hindered  some of their maintenance on the roads. 

He is looking forward to the improvements on the horizon for his District. 

There will be two new bridges built within the next couple of years as well as improvements on Union Valley road. 

One of the bridges to be replaced is the one out by the Corley place. He says it has needed an upgrade for some time. 

The other is the one on Fleetwood Creek. 

He wants voters to know he has done the best he can with the limited funds commissioners receive for each district. 

Martin loves the work and looks forward to serving another term as commissioner.
