ECE Fiber

Home internet from a cell provider can be a good fit for some households, but it works differently than a direct fiber connection.

Cellular home internet uses the same wireless network as your phone, so things like signal strength and network traffic can affect your experience. ECE Fiber runs fiber directly to your home, giving you your own connection with consistent performance and plenty of capacity.

There are a lot of internet options out there, and only you can decide what works best for your situation. If you have questions about how ECE Fiber compares, we’re happy to help!

Our IT team recently prepped four laptops and iPads for New Pathways as they move into a new facility. These devices will help residents stay connected and access the resources they need. As families settle into a new home and kids head back to school, we’re glad to provide tools that can make that transition a little easier! ❤

ECE Said, “We’ve Got You Covered.” And They Meant It! 🙌

A HUGE thank you to East Central Energy for donating 4 laptops AND 4 iPads to New Pathways!

Our technology was definitely in need of an upgrade, and ECE showed up in a BIG way. These devices will make such a difference for our families and our team—from helping families stay connected and access resources to supporting schoolwork, job searches, applications, and so much more.

Seriously… how did we get so lucky?! 🥹

We are incredibly grateful for community partners like ECE who see a need and say, “We’ve got you.” ❤️

BUT WAIT… 👀 There’s more!
Someone else got a pretty special gift from ECE, too… And let’s just say, we think you’re going to love this one. 😉

Stay tuned! ✨

Thank you, ECE, for helping us keep our families connected, supported, and moving forward!

UPDATE, 1 p.m.: Our move to the new phone system is complete, and all phone lines are back up and running. Thank you for your patience during the transition!

ORIGINAL: We're moving to a new phone system today, September 1. During the transition, our 800 number may be intermittently unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and will update when the process is complete!

One fiber strand is about as thin as a thread of cotton candy. Meanwhile, it’s carrying six devices and one teenager who claims they’re “not even using the Wi-Fi.”

The new America Wheel is 230 feet tall. That’s about five 45-foot power poles. Anyway, enjoy thinking about that when your gondola stops at the top.

One reel of fiber = 4,000 buckets of greasy, salty, DELICIOUS cheese curds. Please don’t ask how many ranch cups that is.

It’s State Fair season, so we’re measuring total fiber miles in corn dogs now. The verdict? 31 million corn dogs laid end-to-end. Great news: we finally found a use for algebra. Bad news: it’s this.

Yesterday, we kicked off a new peer-to-peer learning series where employees get to share what they know. Joyce and Josh led our first Knowledge Hour session with a look at Microsoft Copilot, including practical ways to use AI at work, how to get better results, and how to use it responsibly. It was a chance to learn from the people we work alongside every day and tap into the expertise right here at ECE. One session down, with plenty more employee skills to tap into…

Give your old tech a fresh start! Many electronics contain materials that can be recycled safely. Before tossing an old phone, computer, or tablet, erase your personal data and find a local electronics recycling program.

August 24, 1995: Windows 95 hit computers, and Internet Explorer 1.0 arrived with it. Back then, getting online meant dial-up tones, tying up the phone line, and a whole lot of patience. We’ve come a long way since then!
