Equipment Upgrade

Farmers Mutual Telephone Company is currently in the process of upgrading the Fiber Optic Equipment within Fruitland and NuAcres. This process comes at no cost to you and ensures that you can continue to receive the most technologically advanced service, including multi-gigabit speeds, which will be available later this year. 

Technicians from FMTC will be visiting homes to upgrade the outdoor equipment that delivers your Internet service. The process is quick, and they will only need access to the fiber optic equipment located on the exterior of your home.

The 2025 Malheur County & Payette County Fair and Rodeos are in the books, and we had a great time visiting with those in our local communities! We hope you were able to stop by our booth at one or both of the fairs to say hello and learn more about our fiber optic expansion in Idaho and Oregon. 

 

Congratulations to Garrett Potter, the winner of the Grand Champion 4-H swine this year at the Payette County Fair! Garrett is pictured with FMTC General Manager, Ron Rembelski who had the winning bid. Ron also purchased a 4-H pig from Emily Cooper (not pictured) with the help of FMTC partners Vantage Point and Forvis. Many thanks to Maggie Malson Photography for the photo.

FMTC - Enabling Your Connections for 118 Years

A healthy community is a connected community, allowing social connections that enhance our lives. Whether searching for, or working with local non-profit organizations, engaging with local schools or communicating with community groups, fiber optic internet connectivity ensures these vital connections. 

That’s why we provide availability to the FMTC Conference Center to community groups and organizations. The ways to stay connected within our area are many and opportunities to connect and serve are bountiful in our neck of the woods. 

The Snake, Payette, Malheur and Owyhee Rivers and the areas surrounding them provide an abundance of opportunities, not only for fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts, but for local farmers and ranchers. Your local rodeo and fair provide us the opportunity to support our dedicated and hardworking local youth. The Spring Fair, Apple Blossom and Vale 4th of July parades are fun events for the whole family and make living in this beautiful part of the state even more worthwhile. FMTC has made supporting our kids an important part of what we do, because we are more than technology, we are a team of local people who grew up here. Since 1908 we’ve been caring about our local communities and our youth.

Looking For Fast, Reliable Internet?

At FMTC, what you see is what you get. We provide straightforward pricing with no surprises.

  •  THE FINE PRINT!

At FMTC there are no hidden costs or temporary “sale pricing”.detective emoji

  • KNOW IF YOU WILL HAVE A DATA CAP, SLOWING, THROTTLING OR OVERAGE FEES

FMTC’s blazing fast fiber optic and reliable wireless internet is full throttle-no slowing, no data cap and no additional fees just because you want to stream, game, upload large files and….actually enjoy your internet.

  • HOW MUCH IS THAT ROUTER LEASE?

FMTC’s router lease is $7.95 a month. That’s it, not $9.95, $11.95 or even higher, like our competitors. Our GigaSpire Blast Wi-Fi 6 router brings the latest technology, wider Wi-Fi coverage, faster speeds, and improved efficiency. Don’t want to lease? Buy one for $199.95.

  • BUT 5G HOME INTERNET IS CHEAPER…

…and in many instances slower with a data cap or slowing once you hit a data limit. Add up the number of internet-connected devices in your home-smart TVs, cell phones, laptops, gaming systems, desktop computers, smart home devices and appliances.  Add up how much you paid for them all. Isn’t it worth paying a bit more for the latest fiber optic internet technology or fast, reliable wireless internet through FMTC? Saving $20 a month isn’t worth the headache.

  • INTERNET WITH BENEFITS

You just can’t get better internet technology than you can with fiber. Blazing fast speeds, synchronous upload and download speeds and 24/7 support. And to that free installation within three business days, no contract term and a local team of Customer Care, IT Tech and Installation Technicians.

  • DON’T FORGET THE APP

The control of your home network at your fingertips with the FREE CommandIQ app. Update your password, set shut off times for devices, and search connected devices – just in case Karen next door is connected…and you didn’t even know.
