Fiber Internet for Rural Pawnee & Stafford Counties
Fiber Internet for Rural Pawnee & Stafford Counties

Governor Kelly recently announced that GBT was awarded a $6,782,694 grant from the State of Kansas through the Kansas Capital Project Funds Broadband Infrastructure Program. This grant will be used by GBT to provide Fiber Internet, Voice, & TV services to approximately 530 homes, businesses, and other public institutions. The project, which consists of the entire eastern half of Rural Pawnee County and a western portion of Rural Stafford County, will provide fiber-fed, high-speed broadband for the first time to residents who live in these under-served areas. GBT, headquartered in Rush Center, Kansas and celebrating its 70th year of operation, has been deploying Fiber to the Premise for 15 years in the communities and rural areas of western Kansas. With the awarding of this grant, GBT will be able to offer this area the latest in broadband technologies, including Internet speeds up to 1 Gig. To read the full press release click here.

Giving & Gratitude
Giving & Gratitude

The month of November tends to make people take a moment and recognize what they are thankful for and at GBT we are no different. The picture above highlights the individuals that form the GBT team and without each and everyone we could not provide the high level of service we strive to give all customers every day. In October, GBT celebrated Customer Appreciation Week with our employees, highlighting each employee and showing a collective appreciation for the many talents each of them brings to the GBT team. For almost 70 years, GBT has been the area leader in communication services, striving to deliver leading edge technology to our friends, family, and neighbors. We feel we continue to be on the leading edge with our fiber deployment and expansion to homes in the Golden Belt area and want to thank all our employees who help get the job done each day! “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.” —John F. Kennedy We also want to thank our amazing customers who choose GBT for their communication needs. People of all ages, from businesses to individuals, utilize GBT daily and partner with us to meet their communication and technology demands. As 2022 nears to a close, we want to thank you for placing your trust in GBT and our employees to serve you. GBT isn’t just thankful for all of our employees, we also want to recognize and highlight some opportunities to support the amazing organizations in our area. Although donations to support organizations are always welcome, Giving Tuesday highlights the need to support non-profits and organizations that give back to the communities and people that live in them, having a positive impact on all our lives. Some might ask why GBT highlights this opportunity each year and one of the biggest reasons is because of the amount of GBT employees that serve on various boards and organizations outside of their 8-5 jobs. It’s what makes GBT different from...

As we start a new year, I would like to take a moment to say THANK YOU to our many customers and update you on a few company happenings. GBT’s Fiber Network continues to grow, with homes and businesses getting blazing fast Internet connections that only fiber can deliver! Many rural areas lack fiber because it isn’t financially viable for big Internet companies to provide service due to lack of population density. The GBT Cooperative has invested over $40 million in the last 13 years to bring 94% of our members a ROBUST Fiber Connection! 2021’s focus included the rural areas of Brownell, Bazine, and McCracken—meaning these areas, along with current fiber-connected members, will have access to Gigabit Internet connections and the best experience available in the area! The GBT Cooperative has three more exchanges--Bison, Burdett, and Garfield—planned to receive fiber connections in 2022. I am sure many of you unwrapped an Internet-connected device this holiday season that depends on a robust Internet connection to deliver the desired performance. The GBT Cooperative understands the broadband needs of our members are evolving--upgrading to 100% Fiber Optic Network throughout our area has been part of our long-term commitment and strategy that should wrap up in the next three years! Getting expert, local IT help is easy with GBT Business Technology Solutions. GBT has increased its offering of Business IT Solutions recently because of demand from our customers.
