A. The shorthand “fiber” refers to the high-speed fiber optic cables that bring data to your home or business. “Fiber” is also sometimes used casually when referring to gigabit-bandwidth internet services.

Fiber allows us to bring dedicated speeds to each customer and symmetrical bandwidth. Which means you can upload and download at the same speed. It’s also more reliable in inclement weather unlike a typical coax
cable company.

A. Internet has become as important to the quality of life and work for our community as electricity, water, or wastewater services. Reliable, state-of-the-art internet infrastructure is needed for community growth and development.

A. As a municipal utility, we are able to offer more competitive prices and exemplary customer service.

A. Fiber is not as vulnerable to the effects of time and weather as traditional copper wire cable. As a municipal utility, we reinvest much of our revenue into making our services faster, better, and more widely available.

A. We offer a device with routing, firewall and Wi-Fi as part of the service. You may need more equipment depending on your building’s needs, such as Wi-Fi extenders for business-grade network equipment. However, Internet speed is only as fast as your hardware. For businesses, you might need a new firewall or networking equipment to enjoy the maximum speeds. Some older devices or computers may also need upgrading. But even if you keep your existing hardware, you’ll likely notice a significant boost in speed. Talk to members of our team or your network administrator to learn more.

A. Each building connected receives its signal to an Optical Line Terminal, which then passes the signal through a splitter (for multi-unit buildings). This signal then plugs into an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) in your location, which is similar to a cable modem and has ethernet connectivity for local use. Our standard ONT includes routing, Wi-Fi and firewall features. Individual businesses may use their own Wi-Fi routers or other networking equipment if desired.

A. In order to recover the cost of building fiber, we are asking new customers to commit to a minimum two years of service.

A. Maybe. If your email is through an ISP like Comcast or AT&T, you may need to change your email address in time, although both have a process for maintaining that address after cancellation of service.
