		Happy New Year From ImOn! 2022 was a year of significant change for ImOn. We were finally able to come back together as a team in April this year when we came back to our offices to work due to the decline in COVID cases. It's been so nice to see our colleagues more regularly and to feel that great ImOn culture in person. And the family is growing! ImOn now employs 180 experienced, caring team members who are all focused on creating personal connections with each other, with you, our customers, and with the communities we serve. But perhaps the biggest change ImOn has experienced this year is the speed with which we are expanding our network to bring our reliable fiber broadband services to more and more residents and businesses in Eastern Iowa. In 2022, the ImOn team added an additional 21,282 addresses to our service footprint in Iowa City and Coralville and an additional 2,932 addresses in the Cedar Rapids metro area. That's almost 10 times the rate ImOn has ever expanded the network before! This rate of expansion will continue in 2023, with plans to complete the network expansion in Iowa City and Coralville, continue the expansion in the Cedar Rapids metro area, and also add a significant number of new addresses to our service area in Dubuque. The ImOn team is energized by this rapid expansion, and excited to serve all our new customers along with our long-time loyal customers. Thank you, as always, for your business and your trust in ImOn. We appreciate each and every one of you and wish you all a happy, healthy new year. Patrice Carrol ImOn CEO

At the start of every year, millions of people make New Year's resolutions ranging from losing weight to quitting smoking. But why not make a resolution to keep your computer healthy this year? Here are a few tips to help keep your devices safe and healthy in 2023. Perform Regular Backups: Make sure you perform regular backups of your system to ensure you don't lose your important photos, documents, and more. Toss Out The Old: Go through and delete any old files, programs, apps, and emails you no longer need or use. This will clear up more memory space for new things. Restart or Shut Down Regularly: Just like us, our devices need time to rest and reboot. Consider shutting down your devices when not in use, or at least give them a weekly restart. This will ensure they can receive important software upgrades, increase their performance, and prevent memory leaks. You should also reboot your modem and router at least once a month. Stay up to date: Make sure your security software, web browser, and operating system are all up to date. This is one of the best defenses against viruses, malware, and other online threats that could not only hurt your computer but also you. External Care: Periodically wipe away dust, crumbs, and pet hair from your fan vents, screens, and keyboards. Use a microfiber cloth or a can of condensed air. Also, clean up clutter from around your devices to ensure good airflow to help keep your devices from overheating. Secure your devices: Use strong passwords, passcodes, or touch ID features to lock your devices when you are not using them. These security measures can help protect your information if your device is ever lost or stolen.
