What is Foothills?
Until the early 1950's, citizens of rural Johnson, Lawrence and Magoffin Counties did not have a modern telephone system. Due to the foresight of some of the area citizens, Foothills Telephone Cooperative came about in 1951.
What was founded out of a basic need for rural telephony service has become the backbone for the areas served in these three counties today. Providing local phone service, high speed internet, custom class calling features, long distance service and now super clear cable TV over fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) network. This FTTP network was one of the first of its kind in the state of Kentucky to be built. As always, Foothills is staying way ahead of the curve.
With FTTP, you have a fiber optic cable going all the way to your home or business from our communications center. That means that services provided to Foothills' customers will only be restricted by the equipment on each end of the cable, because fiber optics have an unlimited capacity for content and speed. This type of infrastructure provides limitless possibilities for telecommunications services. In other words, the sky is the limit as far as what type of services we can bring your way in the future.
Foothills has a stake in wireless communications as a partial owner and co-founder of Appalachian Wireless (AW). AW has nationwide roaming agreements and excellent tower coverage in the local area. With AW and Foothills, you will always stay connected.
When you consider where to have your next home, home office or business location, keep in mind that Foothills has all your communications needs covered. Once you learn more about Foothills, you will want to "Come on Over" to your neighborhood network.
