Seasonal Disconnect Changes

As some of our Seasonal Customers are returning for the Spring and Summer, we would like to remind folks of our Seasonal Disconnect Changes that took effect at the beginning of this year.

Corn Belt Telephone is happy to be able to provide our Seasonal Reconnect and Disconnect Service for Telephone, Cable TV and Internet. Please keep in mind that Seasonal Disconnects will now take place at the end of a billing cycle only (the 15th of every month), when planning for your departure.

Solar Conjunction

It’s that time again! This week, we will be seeing outages due to the Solar Conjunction for approximately 8 to 10 minutes at a time throughout the day on certain channels.
Solar Conjunction occurs when solar radiation overwhelms a satellite signal. Communication with any spacecraft in Solar Conjunction will be severely limited due to the sun’s interference on radio transmissions from the spacecraft.
Just sit tight though, the interruptions don’t last long! This Solar Conjunction episode should last roughly one week.
You can read more about Solar Conjunction or “Sun Outages” online at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_outage
