Snowville Broadband Survey

For more than 100 years Citizens Telephone Cooperative has been providing communication services to most of Floyd County and the surrounding communities.

We are exploring an option to expand our services to the residents along our fiber route in the Snowville area. Citizens is applying for a grant to aid with the construction cost of this project. The project is contingent on us receiving the grant. Should we be awarded this grant, we will have the funds to build a fiber network in your community allowing us to offer you Gigabit Internet service (1Gbps or 1,000Mbps speeds)

We need your prompt assistance to demonstrate the need for
broadband in your community.
