ABOUT US
On the surface, FMTC is a communications company bringing customers in rural southwest Iowa ultra-fast, ultra-reliable, unlimited Internet, TV and phone service. Their FCC regulated service areas of Stanton, Villisca, New Market, Nodaway and Bethesda got fiber to the home in 2016, and now FMTC has set its sights on bringing fiber to unserved customers in Montgomery, Page, Taylor and Adams counties. In the process, we are working to bring economic opportunities to these four counties and our regional community in southwest Iowa.
When you can work from anywhere because your Internet is the best in the world you can choose to have the way of life that you want to have. We are here to help you grow your business and create opportunities in southwest Iowa and beyond.
These services are available thanks to a partnership with the Rural Ideas Network, a national nonprofit that helps spark growth in rural communities.
