Dear Springer Electric Cooperative Member,

In recent months Springer Electric Coop has received a great deal of interest from members and community stakeholders relating to broadband services in the areas we serve.  In many cases, broadband service providers have not kept pace with the demands of consumers.

Springer Electric Coop has provided electric service in this area for many years and we understand the challenges our unique region presents to internet service providers.  At the same time, we understand that inadequate broadband services pose constraints on our members’ quality of life in many ways including educational opportunities, economic development opportunities and simply ensuring that members have service level options at a cost that is fair.

The board of directors has asked that Springer Electric Coop conduct a survey of its members to determine interest levels relating to broadband service options in the areas we serve. We have a long-standing history with TWN Communications and have asked that they collect member input beginning April 12, 2021.

It is very important that all members, both residential and business, complete this survey to ensure that your collective wishes are understood by Springer Electric Coop. To complete this brief survey, simply go to www.springercoop.com  and click on the “broadband survey button”.  You will then enter your address and email to complete the survey.

This survey information is disclosed only to Springer Electric Coop for the purpose of determining member interest in conducting a broadband/internet service feasibility study for our service area.

I encourage all members to make their wishes known. Your co-op and its board are listening and we will use your responses to determine how to proceed with this very important service for our communities.

Sincerely,

David Spradlin
