Faster, fiber Internet is coming!!
Millry Communications is upgrading all services in our service area, replacing its copper wires with new fiber optic cables. There are five (5) steps to getting fiber to each home and business in our service area.
- Mainline buried fiber is constructed along the highways.
- An underground fiber is run from the highway to each subscriber’s home or business.
- A protective enclosure is installed on the outside of the home or business to protect the fiber and electronics.
- A technician, by appointment, installs an Optical Network Terminal (electronics) on the exterior of each home or business. The technician connects the ONT to power inside your home or business. The technician connects the fiber to a company-provided wi-fi router.
- It’s now time to enjoy your fiber Internet and telephone service.
Millry Communications is in the second phase of its $50 million fiber build out to all its customers in Washington and Choctaw counties.
- Construction currently is under way on mainline fiber in Tibbie, Fruitdale 00, and Millry 00 (CLICK HERE TO SEE THE FIBER MAP AS A PDF).
- Drop construction to homes and businesses is in process in Fruitdale 00 and Millry 00.
- The construction contractor has completed drop construction to homes in Tibbie for all subscribers who returned order paperwork.
- Home and business installations are in process for drops completed in Millry 00 and Tibbie.
Customers in the current construction areas must contact us to activate your order for the upgrade, and you will receive a $5 one-time credit on your next statement after we receive your order. So, even if you don’t have or want Internet, please contact us at 888-227-5710 IMMEDIATELY. We need to ensure your phone service continues to work when the change to fiber is made.
For all the other service areas, keep your eyes open for our mailers as construction is scheduled.
The construction phase is temporary and Millry Communications does everything possible to minimize the impact to your property.

Statement On Spoofing Activity
Millry Telephone subscribers are receiving a rash of calls utilizing ‘neighbor spoofing’. Robocallers use neighbor spoofing, which displays a phone number similar to your own on your caller ID, to increase the likelihood that you will answer the call.
The calls do not originate from Millry Communications subscribers and, as such, we are unable to stop the spoofing activity. Millry Communications follows FCC guidelines to prevent origination of spoofed calls from within its network, but prevention technology does not yet exist to block such activity from reaching Millry subscribers from other telephone service providers.
Most spoofing calls originate from subscribers using Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service for telephonic communications. Millry does not provide VoIP. Also, numerous call spoofing apps to originate spoofed calls are readily available to cellular service users for iOS (Apple) and Android devices.
Everyday, scammers use the telephone to try and trick people out of money or obtain access to personal information. To help you and your family avoid becoming a victim of unwanted and potentially unlawful robocalls, we encourage all customers to read the FCC’s tips and tools to combat robocalls.
