										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At 9:03 a.m. on September 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower of the World Trade Center — a moment that, twenty-five years later, remains etched into the memory of our nation.</p>
<p>Today, the GEA Team flag flies in the Greene County Health Department parking lot, across from the GEA warehouse, as we pause to remember that moment and the countless lives forever changed that day.</p>
<p>The flag will remain aloft until noon in remembrance of the victims, the first responders and heroes who rushed toward danger, the families who carry the loss, and everyone whose life was altered on September 11, 2001.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, a reliable internet connection is essential to almost every business. From processing transactions and communicating with customers to running cloud based applications, managing security systems, supporting employees, and connecting with customers, your business depends on staying connected.</p>
<article class="gea-business-article">That is where GEA Connect comes in.</p>
<p>We offer business internet and communication solutions designed to meet the needs of businesses throughout our community. Whether you are a small local business, a growing company or an organization with more advanced networking and communication needs, our team is ready to build a solution around you.</p>
<p>And while the technology matters, we believe the people behind the service matter just as much.</p>

<h2>Business Solutions Built Around Your Needs</h2>
<p>Every business is different.</p>
<p>A small business may need reliable fiber internet, a guest network for customers, and a couple of phone lines. Another business may need multiple static IP addresses, advanced phone solutions, and additional network capabilities.</p>
<p>GEA Connect can provide solutions for both.</p>
<p>Our business services can include:</p>
<ul class="gea-services-list">
<li>Reliable fiber internet</li>
<li>Guest networking at no additional cost</li>
<li>Static IP address options</li>
<li>Business phone solutions</li>
<li>Multiple phone lines</li>
<li>Advanced communication solutions</li>
<li>Enterprise-level solutions</li>
<li>Service Level Agreements</li>
<li>Enterprise escalation support</li>
</ul>
<p>Our goal is simple: understand what your business needs and build a solution that works for you.<!-- Optional: business installation photo/video --><!--


<figure class="gea-image">
    <img decoding="async" src="REPLACE-WITH-MEDIA-LIBRARY-URL/business-installation.jpg" alt="GEA technician working with a local business" style="width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px;"></figure>


--></p>
<h2>Enterprise Solutions With Enterprise Support</h2>
<p>For organizations with more demanding connectivity requirements, GEA Connect offers enterprise solutions designed to provide additional support and accountability.</p>
<p>Businesses that require a Service Level Agreement can have an SLA provided as part of their service. Enterprise customers can also have access to an escalation list, providing a defined path for addressing service needs when they arise.</p>
<p>From multiple static IP addresses to more advanced phone and communication solutions, we can work with your organization to determine what makes sense for your operation.</p>
<p>You do not have to be a huge corporation to expect dependable service and support.</p>
<h2>Your Local Business Representative</h2>
<p>One of the biggest differences between GEA Connect and a national provider is simple: you have a local person who knows you and your business.</p>
<p>When you choose GEA Connect, you have a local business representative who can help guide you through the process.</p>
<p>From your first conversation, we can discuss your current services, understand what your business needs, and help determine the right solution. Your representative can stay involved throughout the process and serve as a point of contact as your business gets connected.</p>
<p>You are not just another account number.</p>
<p>We want to know your business, understand your needs, and be there when you need us.<!-- Optional: rep with business owner photo --><!--


<figure class="gea-image">
    <img decoding="async" src="REPLACE-WITH-MEDIA-LIBRARY-URL/business-rep.jpg" alt="GEA Business Representative with a local business owner" style="width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px;"></figure>


--></p>
<h2>Start With a Free Business Site Survey</h2>
<p>We believe a successful installation starts before the installation truck ever arrives.</p>
<p>That is why GEA Connect offers free business site surveys.</p>
<p>A GEA representative can visit your business, look over the location, and discuss your needs. This gives us an opportunity to understand the property, review the installation requirements, and identify potential challenges before construction begins.</p>
<p>That information is then used to help our local technical team prepare for the installation.</p>
<p>The goal is a white-glove experience from start to finish.</p>
<p>You tell us what your business needs. We look at the location. Our team prepares the installation. Then our local technicians get you connected.<!-- Optional: site survey video --><!--


<figure class="gea-video">
    <video controls style="width:100%; border-radius:6px;">
<source src="REPLACE-WITH-MEDIA-LIBRARY-URL/site-survey.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video></figure>


--></p>
<h2>Local Technicians. Local Support. Local Accountability.</h2>
<p>When your business depends on the internet, you need to know someone is there when you need help.</p>
<p>GEA Connect provides 24/7 support, and when a service issue requires a technician at your location, we provide truck rolls at no additional charge.</p>
<p>Our technicians are local. Our representatives are local. Our support team is local. And the businesses we serve are our neighbors.</p>
<p>That matters.</p>
<p>When you call GEA, you are not dealing with a provider that is hundreds or thousands of miles away trying to understand our community from a different market.</p>
<p>We live here. We work here. We serve here.</p>
<h2>Do Not Just Take Our Word For It</h2>
<p>We are proud of the businesses that have chosen GEA Connect, but we also understand that choosing an internet provider is a big decision.</p>
<p>So ask them.</p>
<p>Want to talk to a local business owner who already has GEA Connect? We can help make that connection. We can put you in touch with a local business that uses our service so you can hear about their experience directly.</p>
<p>Because sometimes the best way to understand what it is like to work with a company is to talk to someone who already does.</p>
<p>One of the many: <a href="https://youtu.be/ok0LdSWr-Hk?si=cS7JKm9aK5nICQ3a">Lauren Burns, owner of Uptown Real Estate Group</a></p>
<p><!-- Lauren Burns testimonial video --></p>
<figure class="gea-video"><figcaption>Hear directly from a local business owner about their experience with GEA Connect.</figcaption></figure>
<h2>We Know This Market Because We Are Part of It</h2>
<p>GEA has been part of the Greeneville community for generations.</p>
<p>We understand the businesses here because we are here, too.</p>
<p>We understand the importance of local relationships. We understand that when a business has a problem, it needs someone who can respond. And we understand that businesses want more than a low introductory price or a promise from a national provider.</p>
<p>They want a partner.</p>
<p>No one knows this market like we do.</p>
<p>GEA Connect brings the reliability of fiber technology together with the local service and support that businesses deserve.</p>
<p>Whether you operate a small local business or manage an organization with more advanced connectivity needs, our team is ready to sit down with you, learn about your operation and find the right solution.</p>
<h2>Ready to Connect Your Business?</h2>
<p>If you are considering a new internet provider, opening a new business, expanding your current operation, or simply want to see what GEA Connect can offer, Lets talk.</p>
<p>Our team can help you explore your options, schedule a free business site survey, and walk you through the process from beginning to end.</p>

<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="517" data-end="603">Have you ever noticed your lights blink for just a moment and then come right back on?</p>
<p data-start="605" data-end="813">It can be frustrating, especially when you have to reset a digital clock or another electronic device. But that quick interruption may actually be a sign that <strong data-start="764" data-end="813">GEA’s electric system is working as designed.</strong></p>
<p data-start="815" data-end="1117">A “blink” occurs when there is a momentary interruption or fault on the electric system. These interruptions can be caused by a variety of things, including <strong data-start="972" data-end="1117">lightning, a vehicle striking a utility pole, a tree limb contacting a power line, or an animal coming into contact with energized equipment.</strong></p>
<p data-start="1119" data-end="1260">When something causes a fault on an electric line, <span data-teams="true">GEA uses special switchgear like reclosers and circuit breakers to help protect the system; one such type of recloser is an OCR</span></p>
<h3 data-section-id="1fh5bvc" data-start="1262" data-end="1281">What Is an OCR?</h3>
<p data-start="1283" data-end="1479">An OCR is essentially an automatic breaker for the electric distribution system. Similar to the breaker panel in your home, it is designed to interrupt the flow of electricity when a fault occurs.</p>
<p data-start="1481" data-end="1582">The difference is that an OCR can <strong data-start="1515" data-end="1557">automatically attempt to restore power</strong> after a temporary fault.</p>
<p data-start="1584" data-end="1784">For example, if a tree limb briefly touches a power line, the OCR can open the circuit and stop the flow of electricity. After a short period, it can automatically close the circuit and restore power.</p>
<p data-start="1786" data-end="1933">If the fault has cleared, electricity continues flowing normally, and <strong data-start="1855" data-end="1933">customers may only experience a brief blink instead of a prolonged outage.</strong></p>
<div class="no-scrollbar flex min-h-36 flex-nowrap gap-0.5 overflow-auto sm:gap-1 sm:overflow-hidden xl:min-h-44 mt-1 mb-5 not-first:mt-4">
<div class="border-token-border-default relative w-32 shrink-0 overflow-hidden rounded-xl border-[0.5px] md:shrink max-h-64 sm:w-[calc((100%-0.5rem)/3)] rounded-s-xl">
<div class="group/search-image @container/search-image relative rounded-[inherit] h-full w-full">
<div class="absolute end-2 top-2 z-10"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3971" src="https://www.mygea.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Image-44-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://www.mygea.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Image-44-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.mygea.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Image-44-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://www.mygea.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Image-44-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://www.mygea.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Image-44-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https://www.mygea.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Image-44-scaled.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h3 data-section-id="35wvc" data-start="2005" data-end="2054">Why Do Lights Sometimes Blink More Than Once?</h3>
<p data-start="2056" data-end="2190">If a fault is still present, the OCR can open and close the circuit again in an attempt to determine whether the problem is temporary.</p>
<p data-start="2192" data-end="2277">This is why you may sometimes notice multiple blinks close together before an outage.</p>
<p data-start="2279" data-end="2434">If the fault clears, the OCR can restore power without requiring a crew to respond. <strong data-start="2363" data-end="2434">That can prevent a temporary problem from becoming a longer outage.</strong></p>
<p data-start="2436" data-end="2684">If the fault does not clear, the OCR will remain open and stop the flow of electricity. This helps protect <strong data-start="2543" data-end="2603">power lines, transformers, and other electrical equipment</strong> from additional damage until GEA crews can safely locate and repair the problem.</p>
<p data-start="2686" data-end="2789">In other words, that frustrating blink may have prevented you from sitting in the dark for much longer.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="v487ud" data-start="2791" data-end="2827">Why Do I Have to Reset My Clock?</h3>
<p data-start="2829" data-end="2988">Although a blink may last only a fraction of a second, the interruption can be enough to cause some electronic devices to lose their stored settings or memory.</p>
<p data-start="2990" data-end="3028">You may notice that you have to reset:</p>
<ul data-start="3030" data-end="3139">
<li data-section-id="4e6vt5" data-start="3030" data-end="3046">Digital clocks</li>
<li data-section-id="2a4y90" data-start="3047" data-end="3059">Microwaves</li>
<li data-section-id="16urg89" data-start="3060" data-end="3067">Ovens</li>
<li data-section-id="1pbmz9f" data-start="3068" data-end="3108">Other appliances with digital displays</li>
<li data-section-id="fj05d2" data-start="3109" data-end="3139">Certain electronic equipment</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="3141" data-end="3235">There are a few ways you can reduce the inconvenience caused by momentary power interruptions.</p>
<p data-start="3237" data-end="3261"><strong data-start="3237" data-end="3261">Consider these tips:</strong></p>
<ul data-start="3263" data-end="3676">
<li data-section-id="1164aqn" data-start="3263" data-end="3389">When purchasing digital clocks or small appliances, consider models with a <strong data-start="3340" data-end="3358">battery backup</strong> or automatic reset capability.</li>
<li data-section-id="1fxn8jl" data-start="3390" data-end="3562">Use a <strong data-start="3398" data-end="3436">UPS (uninterruptible power supply)</strong> for computers and other sensitive electronics that need continuous power or could lose important data during an interruption.</li>
<li data-section-id="1rfbqwd" data-start="3563" data-end="3676">Consider using quality <strong data-start="3588" data-end="3608">surge protection</strong> for electronic equipment to help protect against electrical surges.</li>
</ul>
<h3 data-section-id="oyxhkt" data-start="3678" data-end="3716">The Next Time Your Lights Blink&#8230;</h3>
<p data-start="3718" data-end="3924">A blink can certainly be annoying, but it can also be a sign that GEA&#8217;s protective equipment responded to a problem on the electric system and worked to keep a temporary fault from becoming a longer outage.</p>
<p data-start="3926" data-end="4056"><strong data-start="3926" data-end="4056">So the next time your lights blink, remember: your electric system may have just blinked to keep you from sitting in the dark.</strong></p>

<p data-start="256" data-end="548">Doves are often attracted to power and utility lines because the elevated perch gives them a clear view of corn, wheat, and other crops in the fields below. While this may make utility lines a common sight in hunting areas, it is important to never shoot at or near electrical or fiber lines.</p>
<p data-start="550" data-end="808">A projectile can cause significant damage to utility infrastructure. Damage to an electrical line can lead to power outages and costly repairs, while damage to a fiber cable can leave homes and businesses without internet, phone, and other critical services.</p>
<p data-start="810" data-end="1091">At GEA, <strong>each fiber cable incident caused by gunfire can cost between $5,000 and $10,000 to repair</strong>, depending on the extent and location of the damage. <strong>Those responsible for intentionally damaging GEA’s electric or fiber infrastructure may face prosecution and could be held responsible for the resulting repair costs.</strong> The photos below show examples of fiber cables that have been damaged by gunfire, requiring costly repairs to restore service.</p>

<h2 data-section-id="q41djy" data-start="1093" data-end="1146">Keep These Safety Tips in Mind This Hunting Season</h2>
<ul data-start="1148" data-end="1470">
<li data-section-id="1t5yu2g" data-start="1148" data-end="1195">Keep clear of electrical and fiber equipment.</li>
<li data-section-id="13r33vm" data-start="1196" data-end="1243">Do not shoot at or near power or fiber lines.</li>
<li data-section-id="1ehklo4" data-start="1244" data-end="1299">Know where utility lines are located before you hunt.</li>
<li data-section-id="g1pe6g" data-start="1300" data-end="1368">Stay especially vigilant in areas where lines may be less visible.</li>
<li data-section-id="1g4mvru" data-start="1369" data-end="1412">Never place deer stands on utility poles.</li>
<li data-section-id="15iy944" data-start="1413" data-end="1470">Never place decoys on power lines or utility equipment.</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="1472" data-end="1672">Taking a few moments to identify utility infrastructure before hunting can help prevent expensive damage and avoid unnecessary interruptions to electric, internet, and phone service for the community.</p>
<p data-start="1674" data-end="1838">We appreciate everyone&#8217;s efforts to hunt safely and help protect the electrical and fiber infrastructure that serves Greeneville and Greene County this dove season.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="316" data-end="406">One of the questions we hear most often when customers consider switching to GEA Fiber is:</p>
<p data-start="408" data-end="464"><strong data-start="408" data-end="464">“If I get rid of cable, how am I going to watch TV?”</strong></p>
<p data-start="466" data-end="752">The good news is that switching to fiber does <strong data-start="512" data-end="519">not</strong> mean giving up the TV you enjoy. Instead of receiving television through a traditional cable TV service, you can use your fiber internet connection to stream your favorite live channels, shows, movies and sports directly to your TV.</p>
<p data-start="754" data-end="898">There are several popular streaming services available, and the best option depends on what you like to watch and how you prefer to use your TV.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1p7iafu" data-start="900" data-end="931">You Can Still Watch Live TV</h3>
<p data-start="933" data-end="1165">Services such as YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV and DIRECTV Stream offer live television over your internet connection. You simply connect your smart TV or streaming device to your GEA Fiber internet and use the streaming service&#8217;s app.</p>
<p data-start="1167" data-end="1317">For many customers, this can provide a very similar experience to traditional cable TV, without having to have a traditional cable television package.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="yjihiy" data-start="1319" data-end="1365">Want Something That Feels More Like Cable?</h3>
<p data-start="1367" data-end="1479">If you&#8217;re concerned about learning an entirely new way to watch TV, <strong data-start="1435" data-end="1479">DIRECTV Stream may be worth considering.</strong></p>
<p data-start="1481" data-end="1839">While DIRECTV Stream can be a little more expensive than some other streaming options, one of its advantages is that it can provide a more familiar television experience. You can use a <strong data-start="1666" data-end="1704">remote control and channel numbers</strong>, and its channel lineup is designed to feel much more like the traditional cable TV experience many customers are accustomed to today.</p>
<p data-start="1841" data-end="2011">For someone who is comfortable turning on the TV, picking up the remote and going to a familiar channel, this can make the transition from cable to streaming much easier.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="ywy2eu" data-start="2013" data-end="2045">“But What About Channel 18?”</h3>
<p data-start="2047" data-end="2080">This is another question we hear.</p>
<p data-start="2082" data-end="2243">If you&#8217;re used to turning to <strong data-start="2111" data-end="2154">Channel 18 on Xfinity to listen to WGRV</strong>, you won&#8217;t have that same cable channel number once you move away from cable television.</p>
<p data-start="2245" data-end="2292">But that doesn&#8217;t mean you have to give up WGRV.</p>
<p data-start="2294" data-end="2453">You can download the <strong data-start="2315" data-end="2329">TuneIn app</strong> on many smart TVs and streaming devices. From there, search for WGRV and listen just as you would through the cable system.</p>
<p data-start="2455" data-end="2578">TuneIn also gives you access to thousands of radio stations from around the world, along with music, news, sports and more.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1qeq17i" data-start="2580" data-end="2599">The Bottom Line</h3>
<p data-start="2601" data-end="2694">Moving to GEA Fiber doesn&#8217;t mean you have to give up television or your favorite programming.</p>
<p data-start="2696" data-end="2809"><strong data-start="2696" data-end="2809">Fiber provides the fast, reliable internet connection. You choose how you want to use that connection for TV.</strong></p>
<p data-start="2811" data-end="2994">Whether you want a traditional live-TV experience, a large selection of streaming content, or simply want to watch your favorite shows and listen to WGRV, there are options available.</p>
<p data-start="2996" data-end="3138">And if you&#8217;re not sure which option is right for you, <strong data-start="3050" data-end="3138">we&#8217;re happy to help explain how streaming works and what you&#8217;ll need to get started.</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-section-id="10rvnhf" data-start="264" data-end="327">Reliable power is something you should be able to count on.</h3>
<p data-start="329" data-end="598">At GEA, we work every day to provide safe, reliable electric service to the communities we serve. One way we measure how well we are doing that is through <strong data-start="484" data-end="507">system availability</strong>, which looks at how much of the time our electric system was available to serve customers.</p>
<p data-start="600" data-end="658">For July, our <strong data-start="614" data-end="657">average system availability was 99.960%</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="660" data-end="791">That means that, across the entire month, our system was available to supply power to the average customer <strong data-start="767" data-end="790">99.960% of the time</strong>.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1i00hxi" data-start="793" data-end="829">What does 99.960% actually mean?</h3>
<p data-start="831" data-end="1000">July has 744 hours. At 99.960% availability, that translates to approximately <strong data-start="909" data-end="999">17 minutes and 51 seconds of downtime for the average customer during the entire month</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="1002" data-end="1135">And there is an important distinction to make: <strong data-start="1049" data-end="1135">that does not mean every customer was without power for 17 minutes and 51 seconds.</strong></p>
<p data-start="1137" data-end="1271">This is a systemwide average. Some customers experienced an outage during July, while many customers experienced <strong data-start="1250" data-end="1270">no outage at all</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="1273" data-end="1606">Electric utilities commonly use reliability measurements to evaluate how frequently and how long customers experience interruptions. The U.S. Energy Information Administration, for example, uses industry reliability metrics such as SAIDI and SAIFI to measure interruption duration and frequency.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="c1v796" data-start="1608" data-end="1636">Why we share this number</h3>
<p data-start="1638" data-end="1891">Reliability can sometimes be something you don&#8217;t think about until the power goes out. Behind the scenes, our crews and system operators are constantly working to maintain equipment, respond to problems and keep our electrical system operating reliably.</p>
<p data-start="1893" data-end="2009">Our July availability of <strong data-start="1918" data-end="1929">99.960%</strong> is one way we can show our customers how our system performed during the month.</p>
<p data-start="2011" data-end="2138">We know that even a short outage can be an inconvenience, and our goal is always to provide the most reliable service possible.</p>
<p data-start="2140" data-end="2214"><strong data-start="2140" data-end="2214">Thank you for trusting GEA to power your home, business and community.</strong></p>
<p data-start="2216" data-end="2445"><em data-start="2216" data-end="2445">System availability is an average systemwide measurement and does not represent the outage experience of every individual customer. Individual outage times can vary based on location, cause and circumstances of an interruption.</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><strong>Greeneville Energy Authority is warning customers about a utility scam reported at our office today.</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div>A customer came into the GEA office while she was still on the phone with someone claiming to represent GEA. The caller told her that if she paid <strong>$900 upfront</strong>, her electric bill would be only <strong>$75 per month for the next 12 months</strong>.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The caller claimed this was part of a GEA budget program and instructed the customer to go to <strong>CVS or Dollar General to purchase a debit card and provide the card information over the phone.</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>This was a scam.</strong></div>
<h3>GEA does not ask for payment over the phone.</h3>
<div>If someone contacts you claiming to be from GEA and asks you to make a payment over the phone, especially using a prepaid or debit card…do not provide your payment information.</div>
<div>Instead:</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Verify your account status through the GEA SmartHub app or online.</strong></li>
<li>If you&#8217;re unsure about a call, text, or message, <strong>contact GEA directly before sharing any information or making a payment.</strong></li>
<li>Never purchase a prepaid or debit card at the direction of someone claiming to represent GEA.</li>
<li>Do not provide card numbers, PINs, passwords, or other sensitive information to an unsolicited caller.</li>
</ul>
<div>Scammers may use convincing stories, special offers, and a sense of urgency to pressure customers into acting before they have time to verify the information.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>When in doubt, stop and verify.</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div>A few minutes of verification could save you hundreds of dollars.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Please share this warning with your friends, family, and neighbors to help spread the word about this scam.</div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>GEA Connect Takes a Major Step Toward County-Wide Fiber Internet</h2>
<div>The week of July 20, Greeneville Energy Authority received approval from the State Comptroller’s Office to provide fiber internet service throughout Greene County within GEA’s electric service territory.</div>
<div>This is a major milestone in our goal of building more than 2,000 miles of fiber throughout Greeneville and Greene County. With this approval, GEA Connect can now legally provide fiber internet service to customers throughout our entire electric service footprint.</div>
<h3>What’s Next?</h3>
<div>Our next step is to begin bringing additional construction crews into the area to help us expand our fiber network. As construction progresses, crews will be working throughout Greene County to hang and splice fiber as we bring service to more communities.</div>
<div>Our business plan called for the entire county to be connected within approximately three years. Our goal is to complete the expansion sooner wherever possible. Some areas will see fiber sooner than others because of existing infrastructure and work that is already underway.</div>
<h3>Where Is GEA Connect Available Today?</h3>
<div>GEA Connect fiber internet is currently available throughout the entire City of Greeneville, as well as to approximately 1,000 customers in Western Greene County.</div>
<div>The Western Greene County expansion was made possible through grant funding focused on connecting unserved and underserved customers. That project has helped us establish the foundation for our larger county-wide expansion.</div>
<div>We have also recently begun transitioning our construction efforts toward Tusculum, so residents in that area can expect to see GEA Connect crews working in their community.</div>
<h3>Want Fiber Internet?</h3>
<div>The best way to check your availability, sign up for service, or let us know you&#8217;re interested in GEA Connect is to visit:</div>
<div><a href="https://mygea.net/fiber">mygea.net/fiber</a> or call our office here in Greeneville at 423-636-6200</div>
<div>As construction moves into new areas, your interest helps us understand where customers are ready for service and helps us communicate with residents about upcoming expansion.</div>
<h3>We&#8217;re Building for Greene County</h3>
<div>This expansion represents a significant investment in the future of Greene County. Our goal isn&#8217;t simply to build a fiber network; it&#8217;s to provide fast, local, and reliable internet service to the communities we call home.</div>
<div>We appreciate your patience as we work through the construction process and expand our network mile by mile. There is a lot of work ahead, but we&#8217;re excited about what this next chapter means for Greeneville and Greene County.</div>
<div>Thank you for supporting GEA Connect. We look forward to serving the entire county with fast, local, reliable fiber internet.</div>
