High-speed internet is being billed as just as necessary to modern life as electricity. Today, the rural members of Jackson County REMC are underserved regarding high-speed internet, much like the co-op's rural residents were underserved 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.
