Southwest Arkansas Telephone expanding fiber through Nashville business corridor

Upon request by local business leaders, Southwest Arkansas Telephone has decided to extend fiber optic cable from Washington to Nashville’s business district. Fiber services will provide from 100 Mb/sec to 10 Gb/sec high-speed internet with no data overage charges or what is commonly called “data caps”. Local and Long Distance telephone service will also be available.

“Nashville’s business community and leadership has shown great determination and vision in their quest to improve the status of high-speed data availability in Nashville.” Says SWAT General Manager Bill Hegmann. “We look forward to working with Nashville and extending the same
levels of service we provide in our existing service areas.”

Construction on the route has begun and is expected to be completed by the end of 2019. Southwest Arkansas Telephone Cooperative is a communications cooperative serving Southwest Arkansas and North East Texas since 1951 with high-quality advanced communications.
