USDA invests $20 million towards Illinois rural broadband

USDA is investing $20 million towards rural broadband improvements in southwest Illinois.

Montrose Mutual Telephone Company, owned by Wabash Communications, is the recipient of the project funded through the Telecommunications Infrastructure Loan and Loan Guarantee Program.

The money will be used to convert a legacy copper system to a Fiber-to-the-Premises network that will impact 1500 customers in sections of Effingham, Jasper and Cumberland counties.
