The C Spire wireless network handles more traffic than ever these days, but when you’re expecting 60,000 additional devices logging on over a six-acre spread, having a world-class backup can save your six.

When it comes to volunteering their time and talents to help others, teenagers are the most generous of all. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 28 percent of people aged 16-17 volunteered between 2019 and 2021, the highest rate of any age group.
