Connected and committed: How NITCO powers local business success

In today's fast-paced business environment, reliable internet connectivity is crucial. For companies like Simko Signs and Fluid Coffee Roasters, dependable service is essential, and they've found that reliability with NITCO.

Mike Moreth, president of Simko Signs, emphasized the importance of consistent internet access for his operations.

"At Simko, we rely heavily on internet access, as most of our proofs and estimates and communications rely on emails," Moreth said. "I decided to switch to NITCO since I met them at chamber events, and I prefer to use local and involved companies. NITCO is community-involved and friendly to work with."

For Alison Scates, owner of Fluid Coffee Roasters, reliable internet is crucial to the business’ daily operations.

"Reliable internet is essential to everything we do, from running our POS systems and streaming curated playlists to powering our podcast room and supporting our in-house operations and online presence," Scates said. "When the internet goes down, so does the flow — and that's simply not an option."

Scates chose NITCO when opening her first location in 2016.

"When we opened our doors on Lincolnway, NITCO had just laid down high-speed fiber optic lines, and we knew immediately that partnering with a local provider like them was the right move," Scates said.

The company's local presence and personalized service have made a difference for both business owners.

"Their team has been with us every step of the way — and I mean that literally,” Scates said. “They're not just service providers; they're customers who stop in for coffee, who know our names, and who genuinely care about our success.”

Moreth has had similar experiences with NITCO's reliability.

"I believe the only times I can recall not having internet are really when we lose power to our building as a whole," Moreth said. "Having tech support locally is critical."

NITCO offers a range of services tailored to business needs. Its gigabit fiber internet provides dedicated bandwidth, ensuring consistent speeds unaffected by external factors like storms or network congestion.

Additionally, NITCO offers voice solutions, television services, and a priority plan for business customers seeking enhanced support.

With over 285 miles of underground fiber optics installed across 300 square miles, NITCO serves more than 1,200 business customers. Its expertise extends to fiber installation and construction services for various sectors, including municipalities, government buildings, medical facilities, financial institutions, school corporations, and local tourism.

"Working with NITCO allows us to walk our talk — supporting a local business that supports us right back," Scates said. "In a world full of corporate noise, it's refreshing — and empowering — to build something beautiful with neighbors who care."
