(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Atlantic Chamber Ambassadors visited with Scott Bennett, owner of NISHNANET, on Thursday, December 15th, 2022, to learn about new technology and services they will be providing.

NISHNANET came to serve the rural Atlantic and Audubon counties in 2018. Since then, NISHNANET has expanded to serve over 300 customers providing them with low cost, high-speed internet, phone service, tech support, and more. NISHNANET takes pride in customer service and recognizing a problem before the customer experiences the issue, which sets them apart from other larger companies. NISHNANET recently invested in a new hardware & software platform that allows their team to view and track “how the internet feels to the customer” regarding latency. Scott explained that latency is how long it takes for the customer to ask for something and for the internet to give it back them. This in turn determines how the customer experiences their internet services.

On top of the new software, NISHNANET will be launching a technology in Atlantic that is as fast as fiber but can be done wirelessly. The benefit of this technology is having the speed of fiber optics without the price of installation, which allows this small local company to provide low-cost internet to the customer. Starting Thursday December 15th, NISHNANET will be accepting reservations for residential customers inside Atlantic city limits. These internet plans will start at $75 a month, 50 mbps by 10 mbps, unlimited.
