Ponca City Utility Authority

The Ponca City Utility Authority (PCUA) offers fiber optics internet connection to home and commercial users in Ponca City, Oklahoma. In 2021, PCUA brought fiber internet to its members after years of development of an external fiber network across the city. This one provides equal download and upload speeds of up to 1Gbps with unlimited usage for the most reasonable price. A lot of the areas of Ponca City were restricted to either slow DSL internet services or cable internet services only. PCUA fiber offers a superior – and more versatile – option that can facilitate today’s Internet requirements such as video streaming, video gaming, video and voice communication applications, and the management of smart home gadgets. The reliable fiber optic connection also serves local businesses, which means a fast flow of business applications and, for example, customer service calls. Unlike other ISPs which are owned by private individuals or companies, PCUA, being owned by the community, returns its net income to the community in the form of investment in Ponca City’s infrastructure, as well as making the rates as cheap as possible. PCUA has several speeds that can be tailored to meet the needs of households and businesses and, unlike what is often seen in metro areas, are fairly affordable. PCUA fiber internet helps Ponca City in its development and is involved in the PCUA’s mission of providing advanced Internet connection to the whole community. It can be stated that the service has been well-received by consumers up to this point in time and the service has been able to extend its coverage to more than 5000 premises in 2022.
