History

Co-founders George Pfenenger and John Dupuy started Socket Internet in 1994. In the following years, Socket Internet experienced rapid growth throughout Missouri and various other regional states.

Company leadership established a proven record of success and growth by becoming one of the few Internet service providers to thrive in the 'dot-com' bust of the 90s.

In fact, the company was named three times to the Inc 500 list, which honors the fastest-growing private companies in America.

In 2004, Socket Telecom, an affiliate of Socket Internet, entered Missouri's local & long-distance telephone industry for businesses. Combined with their partner company, Socket Internet, business owners were able to choose to get both telephone service and dedicated Internet service from one local company.

An important part of Socket's mission is to continue to bring state-of-the-art technology to homes and businesses in areas of Missouri that do not have a competitive choice.
