As the 60th Annual Morton Pumpkin Festival approaches, i3 Broadband's continued sponsorship reflects a fiber network that positions the provider among the top fiber internet providers Peoria-area residents weigh when comparing speed, reliability and value.
EAST PEORIA, Ill., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As Illinois prepares to celebrate the 60th Annual Morton Pumpkin Festival from Sept. 16-19, 2026, i3 Broadband is highlighting its sponsorship as part of its broader commitment to the communities it serves. The company is a fiber internet provider serving the greater Peoria area, operating a 100% fiber network that reaches Morton and other Illinois markets. Its sponsorship of the six-decade-old event mirrors the local investment that has shaped connectivity across the region.
How Is i3 Broadband Marking the Festival's 60th Year?
i3 Broadband is sponsoring this year's event, which marks 60 years as the community's signature gathering and is widely known for drawing visitors to what locals call the Pumpkin Capital of the World. The sponsorship extends a pattern the provider applies throughout its Illinois footprint, showing up in the same communities where it operates fiber lines, including Springfield, Pekin and Tremont. That local presence is part of how i3 Broadband distinguishes itself from larger, less community-connected internet companies.
How Do Area Residents Find Reliable Fiber Internet Service?
Residents comparing local internet options often struggle to tell which providers offer a true fiber connection rather than a hybrid network marketed as fiber. i3 Broadband operates a 100% fiber connection, delivering equal upload and download speeds up to 1 Gig that run roughly 10 to 40 times faster than coax cable and DSL companies. Fiber's lack of copper wiring also makes it less prone to weather-related outages common on cable lines.
Pricing includes no long-term contracts, no data caps and no overage charges, with the full monthly cost disclosed before installation rather than added later. A technician handles installation at no charge, and free tech visits remain available if issues arise later.
Customers switching providers can also receive up to $300 in contract buyout credit, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. i3 Broadband was recently named the winner of the Community's Choice Award for Internet Providers for 2025, voted on by residents. Support comes from a 100% U.S.-based team, and residents can confirm availability by entering their address with the provider.
