WASHINGTON, Jan. 16, 2026 – The Oklahoma Broadband Office celebrated the completion of two fiber-optic technology projects this week, which will serve 366 locations in Washita and Greer counties.

These projects, completed by Dobson Fiber, will improve reliability and internet-speed in Oklahoma’s rural communities, which are largely agricultural and have a lower population density.

The office said the builds were among the first it has completed since it was established in 2022, mirroring a similar development in New Mexico.
