Our Story

NEMR is a locally operated cooperative communications company owned by the customers we serve. NEMR was formed in 1952 as Northeast Missouri Rural Telephone Company to provide reliable telephone service to several communities in Northeast Missouri. Through the years, as the business has changed, we have evolved to meet new challenges and in 2011 began doing business as NEMR. We take pride in providing state-of-the-art- telecommunications services to businesses and residents in our area.

NEMR uses fiber optic cable technology to serve premium Voice, Video, and Internet Services. Over half of our member owners are now served by “fiber to the home” technology, and NEMR continues to deploy new fiber to the home projects each year. We are committed to providing each and every one of our members with a fiber optic connection as soon as practical and possible so that our network is ready for any needs or services our customers have in the future.

We have 70 years of experience, NEMR’s mission is to serve our members with advanced capabilities and products to stay in touch, logged on, entertained, and communicating at an affordable rate. In our fast moving world that is constantly changing, we are “Keeping Our Customers Connected” …connected to each other and connected to the world around us.
