Float Your Boat is a community-focused event that allows teams to build boats solely out of cardboard, decorate them uniquely, and then race them across the lake in hopes that they don't sink before they cross the finish line. Unfortunately, we can report that despite the unusually warm weather we had on Saturday, the water in Bass Pro Lake was still pretty cold!

Still, we were happy to participate in the Float your Boat event in support of the Food Bank of Central and Northern Missouri. While we didn't come away with a trophy once again, we had a great time!


Yesterday, Socket attended the Columbia Business Showcase put on by the Chamber of Commerce. We had a great time, as always, at the Holiday Inn Executive Center networking with local businesses and community members, many of whom were already happy customers. While there, our representatives also fielded questions about fiber, hosted phone systems, and internet in general.

If you missed us there, but still had some questions about our Fiber network or Cloud services, don’t fret! We’re happy to help you out – just give us a call at 1-800-SOCKET-3, or visit our Get-a-Quote page to request a quote for your business.

Continuing our long-standing partnership with the True/False Film Festival and it's sister arthouse theater Ragtag Cinema, Socket is proud to once again be the Official Telecommunications Provider of the Festival.

This year's event was once again a major success as it set yet another record for ticket sales at 52,400 stubs collected! The 2017 T/F Festival got national attention as it received critical praise from handful of major national publications including Paste Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, and the Los Angeles Times.
