Flint Energies partnership project delivers multi-gigabit internet access to 31,000 underserved rural Georgians spanning nine counties and 2,300 miles of fiber
Conexon Connect, the rapidly growing internet service provider (ISP) formed by rural fiber broadband leader Conexon, has completed its thirteenth electric cooperative fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network since the ISP’s launch in 2021. The 2,300-mile network built in partnership with Warner Robbins, Ga.-based Flint Energies deepens Connect’s expansion into rural Georgia.
The multi-gigabit-speed project is Conexon Connect’s eighth electric cooperative broadband project completed in the state, bringing the ISP’s total reach in rural Georgia to more than 187,000 homes and businesses.
“Completing this build means families, farms and businesses across Flint Energies’ communities now have the reliable connectivity they deserve,” said Randy Klindt, Conexon Founding Partner and Conexon Connect CEO. “We’re incredibly proud to be part of the mission to provide members with the same level of service and opportunity as anyone else in the nation.”
The Connect, powered by Flint Energies, fiber network delivers reliable, affordable broadband access to 31,000 members in Crawford, south Houston, Macon, Marion, Muscogee, Peach, Schley, Talbot and Taylor counties. The Flint Energies partnership was announced in March 2022, with network construction officially completed in December 2025.
“After three years of construction and unwavering commitment, I’m proud to share that we, along with our broadband partner Conexon Connect, have completed our fiber infrastructure build, bringing high-speed internet access to more than 31,000 homes and businesses that had long been unserved or underserved,” said Jeremy Nelms, Flint Energies President and CEO. “This isn’t just about faster connections—it’s about opportunity, inclusion, and leveling the playing field for our rural communities. I couldn’t be prouder of our team and what this means for the members we serve.”
Connect’s fiber-optic networks provide access to multi-gigabit-speed, symmetrical internet capabilities, offering the same fast download and upload speeds, while also enabling HD-quality phone service and the benefits of smart grid technology that modernize and future-proof partner co-ops’ electrical infrastructure to enhance resiliency and improve overall service reliability.
In partnership with electric co-ops and community entities nationwide, Conexon Connect’s growth trajectory as one of the nation’s premier rural ISPs continues. Today, the ISP has more than 20 FTTH projects across seven states, collectively set to reach nearly 500,000 rural homes and businesses upon completion.
