Smithville

Called the "state champion of fiber broadband" by Indiana officials, locally owned and nationally recognized Smithville is home to Indiana's best Internet, including offering fully symmetrical gigabit connectivity in Smithville GigaCity deployments (E.g., Jasper, Indiana). Indiana's largest independent telecommunications company, Smithville provides residential and business customers with a full array of Internet, streaming TV, voice, and other services. Headquartered in Ellettsvill, the company has been an industry innovator for nearly 100 years.In 2008, Smithville extended its reputation for critical innovation by embarking on a $100 million fiber development program. Federal regulations and policies changed after Smithville was awarded a federally-backed loan (not a grant), but Smithville has continued to find creative ways to finance new developments and improve services. This includes bringing fiber to distribution centers in its copper network (FTTC) and selected fiber expansions in Bloomington and Ellettsville (http://bit.ly/2uudacw). Smithville also offers a full line of home automation and security products (see link for more details: http://bit.ly/2uUIDUT)Today, Smithville is proud to provide state-of-the-art services to a number of fiber-to-the-premise communities, a network of hospitals and clinics, large manufacturers and corporations, and both the Purdue Research Park (West Lafayette) and the Westgate @ Crane Technology Park, (the latter serves the $2 billion NAVSEA Naval Surface Warfare Center and military laboratory). Smithville has also been recognized 12 consecutive times as a national Top 100 Broadband Company awards, an unprecedented achievement for companies in Indiana.
