Construction of the fiber route began last fall. The Co-op has contracted West Union Trenching and R & S Fiber Optic Services for this project, and you will notice them in your neighborhood installing fiber and connecting cable.
CONSTRUCTION IS IN THREE STAGES
- Installation of cable (building the network in your neighborhood) and installing drops (bringing the fiber network to your home) has required and will continue to require West Union Trenching and/or AC Skyways staff to be in your yard and attaching a small fiber-optic connection box, roughly the size of a shoebox, to your house or business. This connection box is similar to the equipment necessary for a landline telephone connection and will start in late July.
- As soon as the cable is installed, R & S Fiber Optic Service splicing crews will follow to connect the cable in preparation for the service activation.
- *Service activation is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2021. The activation time is when the service is connected, and you can start using fiber to your home internet.
