Below is a press release from the Mississippi Public Service Commission:
Today, Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley joined Tippah Electric Power Association and TEPA Connect representatives and local officials to celebrate TEPA connecting 2,500 customers to high-speed internet service. Commissioner Presley worked to secure over $12,700,000 in state and federal funds to bring high-speed internet service to Tippah County and parts of Benton County. TEPA Connect expects to have service available to all customers who get electricity from Tippah Electric by mid-March of this year.
“I’m proud to join Tippah Electric as they celebrate their 2,500th TEPA Connect broadband customer. This is another milestone in our journey that will not end until every rural, dirt road home has access to world-class internet services,” Presley said.
Tippah County residents who would like to sign up for service with TEPA Connect or inquire about service availability at their address should call (662) 587-9055 or visit https://www.tippahepa.com/form.php
If you have questions about your internet service options or availability, please contact Commissioner Presley’s office at 1 (800) 637-7722.
