With the country fighting COVID-19, Allbaugh is doing his part to make sure the Northeast region stays connected. Not only does that include blasting out gigabit speed-capable broadband, but shepherding nearly 1100 employees. He is especially proud at how quickly his team pivoted to handle the surge of utilization during the pandemic. At the same time, Allbaugh is working closely with local communities to support them through the crisis.
