In rural South Dakota, distance is normal a part of life. Your home might be half an hour from the closest town, which is another two hours away from the “big city.” There are ways though, to reduce distance when it comes to some of life’s necessities. Golden West’s reliable broadband technology can minimize this distance for rural towns, allowing for immediate access to jobs, education, and healthcare. The fact that you can live where you want and still have access to important things in life through your Internet is an exciting development for rural towns.
