Add-On TV You’ll Love, Calls You Can Count On
September 2025 - FMTC is proud to announce the launch of its second major fiber internet construction project within Clarinda city limits in just 18 months! With growing enthusiasm from the community and an ever-increasing demand for fast, reliable internet, FMTC is preparing to break ground in the next Clarinda neighborhood this fall of 2025.
This next phase of construction will bring blazing-fast, fiber-optic internet to even more homes and businesses in Clarinda. Fiber internet helps families connect, stream, work, and learn with unmatched speed and reliability.
“We’ve spent the last year getting to know Clarinda. Our local team has been listening, learning, and investing in the relationships that make this town special,” said Kevin Cabbage, CEO of FMTC. “We’ve heard clearly from residents that Clarinda is ready for more FMTC fiber, and we’re excited to keep building a future-ready network that meets those expectations.”
Over the past year, FMTC employees have been out in Clarinda knocking on doors, attending local events, sponsoring a Clarinda A’s baseball game, and actively engaging with the community to understand what residents are looking for in their ideal internet service.
“For FMTC, expanding fiber isn’t just about burying fiber lines in the ground, it’s about building connections that matter,” said Cabbage. “As a company, as FMTC staff, and as neighbors in the community, we value connecting each customer to the world with world-class fiber internet while also being the local experts you can count on when you want to sit down face-to-face. Our team has worked hard to be available for Clarinda residents, show up in the community, and make sure every step we take reflects the values and spirit of Clarinda.”
As FMTC gears up for this fall’s construction, the company is also planning future expansions in Clarinda. FMTC plans to announce annual fiber construction initiatives over the next couple years. Their intent is to build out a robust fiber-optic network based on local interest, neighborhood by neighborhood until the Clarinda community is connected to the world.
