By: Andy St. John • April 21, 2026

Join Dave Short, Director of Broadband Operations for Steuben County REMC, and host Andy St. John on WLKI 100.3 for a discussion on how member-owned fiber optic service is changing the landscape for rural residents in Steuben, DeKalb, and LaGrange counties.

While many internet providers prioritize the bottom line, Dave explains how a local cooperative prioritizes the member experience. This episode breaks down the tangible benefits of switching to local provider Steuben County REMC, including:

  • Local Support: Learn about their Angola-based technical team and why same-day or weekend service calls are a game changer for lake home owners.
  • Built-in Security: Discover how REMC integrates virus and malware protection directly into the router, removing the need for third-party software.
  • Parental Controls: A look at the Command IQ app and how it gives parents granular control over device usage and timing.
  • Seasonal Solutions: Details on specialized plans for seasonal residents that keep smart home security active while they are away.
