We received good news this week!

Our construction plans were approved for the third phase of construction in our fiber network. This means we plan to begin construction near the Fulton, MO area starting on September 10. Once the infrastructure is built and the initial fiber lines are run, we will begin delivering drop locations and scheduling installations for new customers.

We hope your weekend was as fun as ours!

We were lucky enough to hang out at Kid City in Columbia, where we spent the day handing out balloons and candy. 

It turns out our balloons were more popular than we imagined! We ran out towards the end of the event, after blowing up nearly 600 of them with hand-held pumps. 

Every month, Socket employees ­nominate and vote on a co-worker who best exemplifies our Core Values and Beliefs.

This month, we picked Jeff Gray, from the programming department. Jeff builds and maintains the programs we use here in the office to keep everything organized and scheduled, as well as the programs our customers use to track their personal accounts.

“Jeff is a force for good in this world, and he is a genuinely helpful and useful guy that pulls things together for Socket on a regular basis,” said a co-worker who nominated him. “Basically, Jeff helps us help ourselves make the difference.”
