High speed internet is being billed as just as necessary to modern life as electricity. Today, the rural members of Jackson County REMC are under served regarding high speed internet, much like the co-op's rural residents were under served regarding electricity in the 1930s.  The co-op's Board of Directors voted to form Jackson Connect, the fiber division of the co-op, to provide a true high speed internet connection to the members of Jackson County REMC.
