Santa Rosa Telephone Cooperative

Santa Rosa Telephone Cooperative is continually striving to maintain and improve customer service and its facilities. In 1982 the eight-party lines were updated to single or private lines. In 1998 Santa Rosa began installing fiber optic near the home and today installs fiber to the home for its customers to receive telephone, high speed Internet and IPTV with plenty of additional bandwidth for future applications. With the purchase of the Crowell, Texas exchange from GTE in 1995, Santa Rosa grew to a total of fourteen (14) exchanges in Texas and Oklahoma. Due to the ever changing telecommunications world, Santa Rosa entered into the competitive market place in 1999 building fiber optic lines, plant and equipment to its first competitive local exchange, Seymour, Texas. Santa Rosa Telephone Cooperative has continued to grow adding twelve (12) more exchanges with the most recent being the Haskell, Texas exchange in 2006. Continuing to add service and value to our customers in 1999 Santa Rosa Communications LTD was created to offer long distance service. In 2000 SRCaccess.net- dial up Internet was introduced and in 2001 high speed Internet was added. In 2005, SRTV started to offer IPTV in exchanges serviced by fiber optic lines and continues to improve the service to add the latest in TV viewing to all customers. Now with twenty-six (26) exchanges and three business office locations Vernon, Seymour and Haskell, Santa Rosa continues to provide local customer service, maintenance, installation and repair service providing the latest technology to rural areas served across North Central Texas and South Central Oklahoma. Over the past sixty one (61) years Santa Rosa Telephone Cooperative has evolved from providing an eight-party line service to fiber-to-the-home. It is a telecommunication company continuing to uphold the original aim of the Cooperative: To provide dependable area-wide telephone service on the cooperative plan and at the lowest cost consistent with sound economy and good management. Santa Rosa understands and will continue to face head-on the challenges of providing cutting edge technology to the rural areas and communities we serve.
