At the beginning of the year, the Kilgo family joined the ever-growing community of satisfied FlashFiber customers, officially becoming the 10,000th connected service. Their decision to choose FlashFiber as their Hometown Internet Provider highlights the company's commitment to providing reliable, high-speed connectivity to households across Morgan and Lawrence Counties. As the 10,000th customer, the Kilgo family holds a special place in FlashFiber's history, symbolizing the trust and confidence that customers place in the company.

While visiting with the Kilgo family, they were asked how they use their 1 Gbps FlashFiber connection. "We both work from home, so we use the internet for work, and the kids have iPads and stream on those. We were able to disconnect our satellite provider, which paid for the internet and now we just stream everything," Said Craig Kilgo. "It's amazing going from our phone data package; the speed is not comparable." 

"We are thrilled to welcome the Kilgo family as our 10,000th customer," said Michael Cornelison, FlashFiber's Director of Communications and Marketing. "We appreciate all of our customers' support over the last three and a half years since our first installation and want everyone to know that we're just getting started."
