Serving Central Mississippi Since 2008
From humble beginnings to becoming a top 10 satellite internet dealer, Gators has been connecting rural Mississippi to the world for over 16 years.
Founded by Local Entrepreneurs
Billy Gene & William McNeel
Co-Founders, 2008
In 2008, Billy Gene and William McNeel combined their technical expertise in phone and computer repair with a vision to solve a critical problem: rural Mississippi communities were being left behind in the digital age. With their hands-on technical background, they understood both the hardware and the challenges of bringing connectivity to underserved areas.
They founded Gators with a simple mission: bring reliable, high-speed internet to every corner of Central Mississippi, leveraging their technical skills to deliver professional installations that work right the first time.
