Sign Me Up What to expect? Building Internet infrastructure involves laying hundreds of miles of new fiber-optic cable and placing individual fiber drops to each home that takes service. It can be a lengthy process, often taking a year or more to complete. We promise that it will absolutely be worth the wait. Here is what you can expect as we work to connect your community. The Building Process To build the network, we’re placing new fiber optic cable in the ground. Imagine how many miles of streets are in your city or even just in your neighborhood. There are hundreds of miles of fiber to be laid. That’s a lot of ground to cover, one foot of fiber at a time. Before we can lay fiber in the ground or bring in construction equipment, we must map where all existing infrastructure is including wires, pipes, water lines, electric lines and sewer. A team of engineers and surveyors will also hit the streets to fill in any missing details, which can take weeks or months. We also spend a lot of time developing a construction plan and working with local authorities on permitting and other issues. Once a zone qualifies for fiber service, there is more design, engineering and staking work to be done. After we have a solid plan including diagrams, detailed maps, and specs for every aspect of the project, we start building our network. That’s when you’ll see crews in the streets with their trucks, boring machines, and rolls of conduit and fiber. We follow the required process for marking the locations where each utility is supposed to be. This helps our construction crews when they are digging. You might see orange, blue, red, or yellow paint on sidewalks, streets, or even on your grass. Those are locating marks. Sign Up Now Private Property Access Our franchises, which are issued by a state or local government, give us the right to build our network in public rights-of-ways and easements in a particular jurisdiction. Where applicable, we separately secure the rights to construct on private property, such as in a multi-family apartment building, in a gated community, or across a private road. Weathering the Weather Even under the best of circumstances, some things can slow us down that are out of our control, such as: weather and more weather. We still work outside when the weather doesn’t cooperate, but sometimes it is just impossible. Consider when you notice most road construction. You see more of that in spring and summer than in fall or winter. Usually, you won’t see road construction on snowy or rainy days. This pattern is similar for Fiber construction. Nearly everything stops or slows down in bad weather, including fiber network construction. There is just not enough daylight sometimes. Construction permits are usually only valid for certain days of the week and may limit times of the day crews can work. We might have enough crews to work longer days or over the weekends, but we must comply with the local restrictions. Sign Up Now Home Installation Fiber will be brought to your home by placing cable in the ground. Prior to any work being done at your home, you will be contacted by an Engineer to determine cable placement. We will install a Network Interface Device (NID) on the outside of the home to connect the fiber to your home. Inside your home, we will install an Optical Network Terminal (ONT), a power supply, and a wireless enabled Internet modem which is included with your subscription to Protection Plus. Installation of all cable and equipment is provided free of charge. Sign Up Now NID (Network Interface Device) The NID is installed on the exterior of your home. ONT (Optical Network Terminal) The Optical Network Terminal (ONT) converts the optical signal coming through the fiber into separate signals for TV, voice, and data. Gigaspire Router The router will be positioned inside your home in a location that optimizes the wireless network coverage. Power Supply / Battery Backup The battery backup power supply is installed when you subscribe to telephone and Protection Plus services. It will be placed inside your home, usually in a supply room or closet. Order of Installation Occasionally one or two homes on a street don’t get installed until weeks or months after the rest of the street is installed. This can be confusing to residents, and your patience is always appreciated. There are a couple of reasons this might happen: Property access may...
