Working Together To Build A More Connected Middle TN
Project UNITE, an initiative of United Communications, was created with the goal of providing high-speed internet—fiber or wireless—to every under-connected home or business in Middle Tennessee. With the support of Middle Tennessee Electric and through strategic partnerships with local communities and business and government leaders, Project UNITE will bring Middle Tennessee residents and businesses the internet connectivity they need and deserve.
This is the right thing to do for Middle Tennessee and Project UNITE is here to make it happen.
Project UNITE’s Focus:
– CONNECT unserved communities with fast, reliable internet.
– PARTNER with local stakeholders and seek supporting grants for strategic expansion.
– SERVE our customers with friendly, responsive service.
We are very honored to be recognized as one of the industry’s leading companies for our work in rural communities with Project UNITE.
