A Pekin festival sponsorship this September is highlighting how community-focused providers factor into Illinois households' choice of internet streaming bundles. i3 Broadband's backing of the Roots & Boots Dragon Jam secures its local leadership as an internet and streaming bundles provider.
EAST PEORIA, Ill., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Central Illinois residents comparing internet streaming bundles are finding fiber provider i3 Broadband a desirable local option, and this month the company is putting that presence on display by sponsoring the Roots & Boots Dragon Jam at the Pekin Marigold Festival. The Friday, September 11 concert anchors the festival's September 9-13, 2026 run, now in its 54th year.
Why Is i3 Broadband Sponsoring the Marigold Festival's Dragon Jam?
I3 Broadband's sponsorship reflects the company's hands-on involvement in the towns it serves. The Pekin Marigold Festival, themed "Marigold Roots and Country Boots," draws visitors from across central Illinois for a parade, carnival and family activities.
By putting the Dragon Jam concert under its name, the fiber provider participates in a tradition that residents already circle on their calendars each fall. i3 Broadband staffs its support team entirely with U.S.-based employees, a point of differentiation for customers who have grown frustrated with offshore call centers at other providers. That local-support model extends across the company's footprint in communities that include Pekin, Peoria, Springfield and Champaign.
It shares the desire for uninterrupted moments that carry past the festival weekend and into everyday life. A stable connection matters just as much for sharing festival memories online as it does for a Friday night streaming lineup. i3 Broadband treats reliability as part of its local commitment, making it a provider that customers can count on well after the festival grounds close.
What Makes an Internet and Streaming Bundle Worth It for Illinois Households?
A worthwhile internet and streaming bundle typically comes down to speed, price transparency and channel selection, among other essentials. Each factor plays directly into how i3 Broadband packages its residential service.
Residents enjoy:
- Speed and reliability: The provider's 100% fiber-optic network delivers symmetrical upload and download speeds that run roughly 10 to 40 times faster than coax cable or DSL, with 1 Gig plans available for streaming, gaming and multiple connected devices at once.
- Price transparency: The company advertises no long-term contracts, no data caps, no overage charges, free installation and free technician visits.
- Switching incentives: New customers in Pekin can receive up to $300 contract buy-out credit to offset early termination fees from a previous provider.
- Channel selection: DIRECTV and MyBundleTV give customers access to local channels, sports programming and personalized viewing recommendations, with no satellite dish required.
