When Forbes Magazine takes notice, it matters. With affordable housing and gigabit internet provided by Bulloch Telephone, Statesboro, Ga. is the place to be. Bulloch County, home to Statesboro, covers 689 square miles and is home to over 75,000 residents. Bulloch Telephone serves subscribers across the county via fiber to the home with exceptional speeds. The company has spent more than $25 million over the past 10 years to expand its broadband network and was the first operating telephone company in Georgia to become a 100% fiber network.
That high-speed, high-capacity network is a must as the county is home to three colleges: Georgia Southern University, Ogeechee Technical College and a satellite campus of East Georgia College. Georgia Southern University is a major economic driver for the area with a local enrollment of more than 20,000 students and more than 7,100 employees.
And, while Bulloch Telephone partnered with another local cooperative to provide internet access to 7,000 students in the GSU residence halls, the students really appreciate the Bulloch-powered Wi-Fi in the 25,000-seat football stadium!
Along with providing fast internet speeds and a network that is unbeatable in its market, Bulloch shows its local impact on the community through partnerships, employee recognition and commitment to economic development. Employees at Bulloch know they make a difference in this Smart Rural Community.
