Wired for Change: A Buckeye Broadband Story

Maya owned a tiny café on a quiet corner in Toledo, Ohio. Her coffee was rich, her muffins always warm, and her smile welcoming — but foot traffic had slowed, and in a digital age, her lack of internet service was starting to show.

Customers asked for Wi-Fi. Delivery services demanded online orders. But Maya was still operating on an old, unstable mobile hotspot that barely handled card transactions, let alone streaming music or customer connectivity.

That all changed one rainy Tuesday morning.

A friend stopped by and said, “Why haven’t you switched to Buckeye Broadband yet?”
Maya hesitated. Was it affordable? Was it fast enough?

The next day, she made the call.

Within hours, technicians arrived and installed a reliable high-speed Buckeye Broadband connection. By evening, the café had free customer Wi-Fi, smooth digital payments, and a Spotify playlist humming softly through the speakers.

What happened next surprised Maya.

Students started showing up to study. Freelancers dropped by with laptops. People stayed longer, ordered more, and posted photos of their drinks online — tagging the café and bringing in even more visitors.

Maya added an online ordering system and launched a simple website. Her weekend orders doubled. A month later, she hired her first part-time employee.

All it took was a better connection — and a little courage.

Now, every time she sees someone sipping coffee with a laptop open, Maya smiles. Buckeye Broadband didn’t just connect her café — it connected her dream to the world.
