Below is a press release from the Mississippi Public Service Commission:
Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley recently joined representatives from NE Sparc and local officials to celebrate the completion of NE SPARC’s broadband project. The project brings service to over 28,500 locations in portions of Lafayette, Marshall, Benton, Union, and Pontotoc counties. NE Sparc is a subsidiary of North East Mississippi Electric Power Association. Commissioner Presley worked to secure over $16,750,000 in state and federal funds for the project.
“When we began this journey, our goal was to bring broadband internet service to the last house on the last dirt road in Mississippi. Today, we reach another milestone with an entire service territory being covered with high-speed internet service. I couldn’t be prouder of the NE SPARC leadership, manager and board, and their hardworking employees. We still have work to do across the state, but today is another momentous occasion,” said Commissioner Presley.
Residents who would like to sign up for service with NE SPARC or inquire about service availability at their address should call (662) 238-3159 or visit https://www.nesparc.com/residential-services/
If you have questions about your internet service options or availability, please contact Commissioner Presley’s office at 1 (800) 637-7722.
