Candy was flying… and Corwith showed UP!
Comm 1 had a great time at Corwith’s Memorial Day Celebration—one of our very first communities and proudly referred to as a town with heart ❤️ Thank you to all veterans and active service members, and we honor those who gave everything for our country.

Congratulations to our CEO, Randy, on 42 years!

Through decades of change, growth, and progress, Randy has been a steady guide—helping shape not just a company, but a true sense of community. His commitment to people, both customers and employees, is what makes Comm 1 feel like more than a workplace… it feels like home.

Your impact reaches far beyond the workplace—strengthening the connections and communities that make Comm 1 special.

Happy Anniversary!

Friendly reminder for mowing season
You may not know what this is—but your internet does. 😂
Fiber pedestals don’t want haircuts, so please mow carefully.
Thanks for helping us keep the neighborhood connected!

If you see a Comm 1 tech today, give ’em a high five… they’re out here fighting snakes for your internet. 🐍

Comm 1 sent Sam Carlson to attend the NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association Marketing & Sales Conference in Boston this year, where rural broadband professionals came together to share ideas, and learn to better serve their communities. It was great to connect with others in the telecom industry and learn about current marketing trends for customer engagement.

One session focused on mascots and branding in community engagement — so yes… a Comm 1 mascot might be in the works.

Before anyone gets too attached… the mascots pictured are examples and are not in the running.

Now we want to hear your guesses — what should the Comm 1 mascot be?
