The following was printed in the Wichita Business Journal.

As an industry pioneer with nearly 80 years serving rural Kansas, Twin Valley was among the nation’s first to offer gigabit fiber to the home service nearly 20 years ago in 2005. This year, the company continued its legacy of innovation as one of the first in Kansas to deliver 8 Gbps symmetrical fiber internet to residential customers. Among the top speeds in the nation, this service is available across 14 rural Kansas communities—an advancement previously unavailable in these underserved areas. Dedicated to eliminating the digital divide, Twin Valley is actively phasing out slower and less reliable DSL internet service and taking a hybrid approach to extend fiber-fast speeds to residents and businesses in remote areas. Twin Valley prioritizes fiber-to-the-premises deployment and reaches high-cost to serve locations with Air Fiber, an advanced, next-generation technology. With 16 expansion projects this year including Mulvane, Haysville, and Clearwater, the company has improved connectivity for more than 14,000 new homes and businesses in 2024.

This dual approach is not only expanding access but is also transforming lives and economic potential across rural Kansas. Thousands of new customers are now part of the Twin Valley network, enjoying high-speed connectivity essential for remote work, online education, telehealth, and beyond. Air Fiber, in particular, has redefined customer experiences, enabling Twin Valley to achieve its highest-ever industry-leading NPS ratings, a testament to reliability that even surpasses traditional fiber standards. By innovating with these groundbreaking solutions, Twin Valley is leading the charge in bridging Kansas’ digital equity gap, setting new benchmarks in rural broadband connectivity, and contributing to the future of the communities we serve.
