Ritter Rolls Out Fiber to Morrilton Businesses

Ritter Communications of Jonesboro said Tuesday it has expanded its fiber high-speed internet to business customers in Morrilton.

The move is part of the company’s $4 million plan to provide 100% fiber internet access to a number of rural Arkansas communities. Other recent fiber expansion projects include services in Lonoke, Pine Bluff, Arkadelphia and Texarkana.

“We’ve seen dramatic changes in the last year in the way businesses utilize the internet, meaning true 100% fiber internet has become less of a luxury and more of an operational necessity,” said CEO Alan Morse in a news release. “We see the demand for high-quality broadband in Morrilton, with 30 businesses ready to connect, and we look forward to expanding our 100% fiber internet services to more in the Morrilton business community. Ritter Communications will start turning up zones in May, and we are eager to bring the Morrilton community our advanced business solutions and superior customer service.”

Ritter will be providing voice, custom cloud, networking and television services.

In addition, the company is contributing $2,500 to Conway County Care Center to commemorate the expansion of services in Morrilton.
