1996

In 1996 Reynolds saw the first glimpse of the company’s future with the introduction of the very first Internet Service. Dial-Up Internet was introduced as part of a partnership with 7 other independent telephone companies in the area, forming a consortium known as Western Illinois Network Services (WINS). Boasting speeds of up to 56Kbps, dial-up was about 1,800 times slower than our lowest fiber package offered today.
