Range Telephone Cooperative is a telephone cooperative that connects rural northern Minnesota communities to the World Wide Web, voice, and picture through services such as the Internet, telephone, and television. Originally developed in 1951 to deliver telephone service to an isolated area, Range Telephone has expanded its service provision to include modern communication services for an estimated 10,000 members. Range Telephone offers high-speed fiber-optic internet with download speeds up to 1 Gig, which will allow for quick download and streaming of videos and other home activities. Their internet packages have no data limit, free technical support at any time, and opportunities to purchase internet, TV, and home telephone connections. Range Telephone is a cooperative, that works for the benefit of its members and not for profit. They consistently plow profit back toward enhancing and developing additional fiber infrastructure, including current additions to deliver higher speeds to locations such as Cook, Orr, and Tower. It has strong social bonds and local support, so Range Telephone can address the connectivity demands of rural Minnesota residents for schools, work, healthcare, and other vital sectors promptly. With cutting-edge technology emerging, this member-owned cooperative seeks to make one major promise: no user in its service area will be left behind.
