Our hearts are with all who knew and loved Grant Carlson. As a member of our Board of Directors since 2016, Grant brought invaluable insight, knowledge, and community spirit to our meetings and events. Grant was always ready to lend a hand or share a laugh wherever he was needed. The Stratford community has suffered an incredible loss.

The long Labor Day weekend is quickly approaching! Will you be tackling projects in your yard, such as building a firepit or planting perennials? Don’t forget that if you’re planning to dig, call 811 several days in advance to have underground utility lines marked. This helps prevent accidental damage and disruption of services.

Bottom line:

Satellite = Even if speeds look similar on paper, it can struggle with real-time use, slow down when busy, and be affected by weather.

Fiber = Handles multiple people streaming, gaming, and video calling at once with fast, low-lag, and best overall performance.
