This week TruVista Fiber was onsite at Tift County High School and Eighth Street Middle School installing fiber to remote locations on campus that have not been connected to the TCS network in the past due to the high cost of install. TruVista Fiber recently partnered with TCS to make sure these locations are connected and to make their commitment to ensuring the students of Tift County have access to a robust high speed network. With this partnership, TruVista Fiber is the Official Broadband Partner of Tift County Schools! Thank you TruVista Fiber for your partnership with Tift County Schools. #4theT
