alt Hacker News>So I took a consulting job in a small town in Illinois called Quincy.
Adams Internet/Telco/Fiber? Same. It always impressed me how early they were to fiber to the home down there in southwestern IL. ~15 years ago I made that same trip: Chicago down to Quincy then over to Steeleville and then to St Louis to drop off the rental car and fly back home. They really make the Coop system work out there.
Not them but I was legit impressed by the fiber coverage. They have towns of like 30 people with gig access, and all the roads between access points as well. It's kind of astonishing.
Seeing their setup is actually what spurred me to put together a coop at home to run fiber for the county.
Adams definitely knows what they're doing when it comes to managing resources in a rural area
