Another Milestone Cookson Hills Connect recently celebrated another milestone as they announced connecting their 5,000th fiber subscriber. The Payne family lives on a beautiful piece of land in southern Haskell County. This family of five enjoys all the benefits of rural living, but until recently, there was one major downfall of country living—the lack of internet service in the area. “We love living in the country, but when you live this far out of town, there aren’t any options for fast and reliable internet.”, said Cameron Payne. As a gesture of appreciation and to celebrate the connection of our 5,000th subscriber, Cookson Hills Connect presented a 70” smart television to the family. The new fiber internet from Cookson Hills Connect is a welcome addition to the household. “Our family is grateful to have the same benefits as those living in large metropolitan areas. We even have relatives who come over now just to use our internet.”, said Tiffani Payne. Thank you to the Payne family and all our other subscribers for allowing Cookson Hills Connect to serve you!
