In Weare, New Hampshire, Granite State Communications provided recognized one of their community leaders who had led an effort to improve the local youth sports’ facility. The award recipient was surprised and befitting this busy volunteer had to keep his thank you speech short, as he had to run off to coach his youth football team. This particular event gave Granite State Communications a chance to introduce their new name (the service provider formerly known as Granite State Telephone). This 132-year new service provider also had a chance to show case their state of the art fiber network.
