How the Fiber Construction Process Works
STEP 1
Site Surveys – Anticipated Late Spring/Early Summer 2026 (Weather Permitting)
Our team will contact homeowners who expressed interest in service to conduct a site survey of their property. This survey helps us determine the best path for burying the fiber optic line. Site surveys typically take about 20 minutes and can be conducted in person or over the phone. For more information, please see the FAQ section below.
STEP 2
Equipment Installation & Service Activation – Anticipated Late Summer/Early Fall 2026
Our team will contact homeowners who confirmed their interest and had the fiber line buried on their property. We’ll install FTTH (Fiber to the Home) equipment inside and outside the home, connect it to the fiber optic line, and activate the internet service.

A FTTH ONT (Optical Network Terminal) will be installed. This device communicates with the fiber network and must be connected to a power source. Adtran, the ONT manufacturer, has tested and measured the energy consumption of ONTs installed at homes and businesses for fiber-based telecommunications services.
