Butler-Bremer lands contract for courthouse telecom services

After a written quote and verbal presentation from Butler-Bremer Communications Chief Executive Richard McBurney, the Chickasaw County Board of Supervisors authorized the Plainfield-based telecommunications company on Monday to move forward with providing phone and internet service to the courthouse.A printed billing analysis proposal [quote] showed that compared to the current provider, going with Butler-Bremer for phone and internet would offer a monthly savings of $412, or over 40 percent off. Out of the $412, a slight internet service charge increase washes out to a $5 savings factoring in a comparative savings on a static IP address charge.The internet download speed will be increasing to 100 Mbps, doubling the current 50 Mbps DSL.“The only thing that’s not on there, we will be doing a $200 flat installation charge,” McBurney said. “That’ll bring all the phone, all the internet." — For more on this story, see the Oct. 20 New Hampton Tribune.
