If you head about two hours north of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, you’ll find three communities served by TDS—Pequot Lakes, Brainerd, and Breezy Point. All three cities offer year-round natural beauty, interesting festivals, and lots of interesting things to see.

In the last 156 years we’ve gone from laying a telegraph cable to having phone service, the Internet, smart phones, and even connected “smart” homes (all over the world!). Check out what it took to make the first trans-Atlantic cable happen (hint: it took a few tries) and get a little more interesting telecom history to boot!

TDS employees are helping the communities we serve by chipping in on local events and giving back in many ways to help make the holidays brighter. Find out what we’ve been up to!
