It Pays to be a Westman Communications Group (Westman) Co-op Member

Westman is owned by the members who use our services.

All earnings belong to our members, and each year, these earnings increase your equity in the company. Westman reinvests each member’s equity into its operations, enabling Westman to add or enhance services and remain competitive.

This is the critical difference between Westman and other providers of Internet, Digital HD TV and Phone services. As a Westman member, you build equity in the Co-op, and your patronage contributes to both the company and your community.
