Our HistoryA Family-Owned Company, Four Generations Strong
D.L. and Estelle Fail bought their hometown telephone company back in 1923, starting with one manual switchboard and a handful of poles. By 1973 that had grown into a holding company serving communities across four states, and in 1992 Charlie and Dot Fail, along with their children Donna and Cy, founded Fail Telecommunications Corporation. In 2023, the family celebrated 100 years and four generations in the business. Today, great-granddaughters Christa and Ali run the company their family has always run, now known as Arriva.
You may still know Arriva locally as Bruce Telephone Company, the name the office on Public Square operated under for years. The name has changed, but the ownership and the commitment to Bruce has not.
About the AreaFiber Internet in Bruce, MS
Bruce sits along the Skuna River in north-central Calhoun County, about four miles north of the county seat of Pittsboro. The town grew up around the timber industry, and a sawmill still operates in Bruce today. Mississippi Highway 9 runs straight through the center of town, connecting Bruce to Calhoun City to the south and Pontotoc to the northeast, the same general direction as the Algoma and Pontotoc communities We Connect serves.
In a town built around timber and agriculture, a slow internet connection isn’t just an inconvenience. It affects a family trying to stream and work from home at the same time, or a small business near the square trying to keep up with online orders. Arriva has served this area for generations, first as Bruce Telephone Company and now as Arriva, and Bruce remains the one Arriva market recognized with Smart Rural Community certification.
