Tom Mongeon, chair of the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative board, prepares to cut the ribbon marking the start of NHEC broadband service to the first 900 members of the co-op at an outdoor ceremony held Dec. 15 in Lempster.
Nearly 900 members of the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative now have high-speed internet service, the first step in the utility’s eagerly awaited mission of bringing broadband to the state’s rural areas.
The co-op marked completion of two fiber-optic networks Dec. 15, providing members in four towns – Lempster, Clarksville, Colebrook and Stewartstown – with access to internet services with upload/download speeds as high as 1 gigabit per second.
