JUNE 2024 5 SOLUTIONS We trust all of our technology needs to Panora Fiber, and their team keeps everything working seamlessly here. What they do and what they know is far beyond the skill set we have as attorneys, and it’s comforting to know help is only a phone call away.” — JEFFREY BUMP, PARTNER, BUMP & BUMP See What a Difference Broadband Speed Makes Broadband is an essential component of modern life and a requirement for economic growth, education, health care, and public safety.

Panora Fiber has assisted us through each new phase of technology and helped our practice keep pace with everything and remain efficient.” Panora Fiber currently provides a broad range of services to the Panora office of Bump & Bump: fiber internet, phone service, and IT support including email hosting, VPN configuration for file sharing, troubleshooting of hardware and software issues, and hardware purchasing and installation.

What they do and what they know is far beyond the skill set we have as attorneys, and it’s comforting to know help is only a phone call away. We rarely have trouble with our email, internet, or phone service, but if we do, we contact the Panora Fiber office and the issue is addressed promptly,” said Bump. The fact that Panora Fiber is a local cooperative is also valuable to Bump. He explained, “We are fortunate that Panora Fiber is a cooperative association, meaning that every customer has a stake in the success of the company. We also appreciate that the employees of Panora Fiber are members of our community whom we know personally and trust explicitly with our needs. We pride ourselves on being able to help our clients with their legal needs promptly, efficiently, and skillfully, and having the most current technology functioning at all times is critical to our being able to accomplish that.” 0 bits per second 2M 3M 5M 10M 15M 25M 100M 50M 1M
