Dickey Rural Networks

Founded in 1950, DRN was created to bring telephone service to rural southeastern North Dakota. We began our first FTTH project in 2004 (completed in 2012) and are proud to provide 100% FTTH service through our service area consisting of 32 exchanges in seven North Dakota counties and two South Dakota counties. In 2021, we celebrated the grand opening of our Casselton office as part of our strategic planning to expand into eastern North Dakota, where we serve Casselton, Horace, and Mapleton with gigabit broadband.
