When friends and Louisiana natives Chris Disher and Jimmy Lewis struggled to find reliable and fast internet service for their rural, south Louisiana homes, the two took matters into their own hands to find a solution to bring connectivity to their neighborhoods that no other telecommunications company could provide.

Initially using fixed-wireless technology from nearby towers, the pair successfully developed a process for delivering high-speed and cost-effective internet service to their homes. Soon, many neighbors asked to be connected to the same tower and switched to the fixed-wireless internet service, and in 2017, Cajun Broadband was born.

The company started with 10 customers, but as word spread through many of south Louisiana's small-town communities, Cajun Broadband's founders felt their mission and business plan were clear - to provide families and businesses with reliable and accessible internet and phone service for a fair price and more importantly, to provide unmatched local customer service. Coverage expansion has continued — now serving nearly 10,000 customers across seven Louisiana parishes.
