Boone REMC is providing free community WIFI at the Anson Acres in Whitestown. The new program, called “Boone Cooperative Advantage Connect,” now has two hotspots, one at the Lebanon office and one in Anson Acres Park, located at 4671 Anson Blvd. More locations will be added soon.

“We are excited to partner with Boone REMC to provide free Internet access at Anson Acres,” said Whitestown Town Council President Clinton Bohm. “Whether it’s working remotely, completing schoolwork, or connecting with loved ones, we hope this service is a valuable asset in our community and look forward to expanding it to more town facilities.”

Anyone can use the hotspot and connect for free. The community can expect better speeds the closer they are to the antenna, and there is no limit to the data used. 

“During these challenging times, we recognize that connection to family, friends, work, and school are more important than ever,” Bill Conley, Boone REMC CEO, said. “We encourage the public to use precautions when connecting to any public WIFI, but now everyone can have access by simply coming to the site.”  

The sites will remain as long as the devices remain functional and Boone REMC has permission from the community to continue providing the service. For a list of precautionary measures and specific connection instructions, log on to https://www.bremc.com/bca-community-wifi/.
