As DUO Broadband continues to celebrate our 70th year we’ve enjoyed reflecting on how much has changed during our existence. We recently found some old employee newsletters that brought back memories, including this little article describing to employees a new thing called the Internet. We saw promise at the time, but little did we know what it would become! Here is the article as it appeared in 1995.

Kentucky State Representative Josh Branscum was in Russell County recently to get a first-hand look at progress on the Jabez community fiber optic expansion. The project is bringing gigabit broadband to the rural area with funding from a state broadband grant and matching funds from DUO Broadband, for a project total of 6.7 million dollars. The broadband grant program that came from the Kentucky state legislature and signed into law in April of 2021 selected Jabez and other underserved communities for broadband projects.

Essential Broadband

“If there was anything good that came out of COVID, it’s that we’ve seen the importance of broadband,” said Branscum. “You start looking at telehealth, if our kids have to work remotely for school, businesses, and just the things we do daily in our homes like watching television, or just getting on the Internet. It’s just essential now.”

Damaged utility lines and shotgun shells with a "NO" symbol.

As dove hunting season is underway, this is an important reminder that damaging utility lines, even if unintentional, is against the law and can carry heavy penalties.

Already this season DUO Broadband has had to repair damaged fiber optic cable from shotgun strikes in our service area. Network outages and the expense of repairs affect all DUO Broadband customers.

Beyond the potential for criminal charges and the disruption of service to you and your neighbors, shooting birds sitting on utility lines is just poor sportsmanship — so please, just don’t.
