If Hawarden moves forward with fiber, what would that actually look like? Imagine your community buzzing with progress—crews in bright vests, new lines being placed, and the promise of lightning-fast internet becoming real. Every step brings us closer to a future where buffering and slow connections are history.
Here’s how the process would unfold if your section in Hawarden gets the green light for fiber service:
1. Site Survey
Our technicians will visit your home or business to determine the best way to bring fiber optics right to your door. Every mile of this high-speed network is carefully planned since we can’t just place it anywhere. Using the information gathered during your visit, we’ll create a detailed map based on existing infrastructure such as utility poles and underground lines.
During the site survey, we’ll ask that the owner or tenant be present to provide consent for the placement of fiber lines and equipment.
2. Construction
Once planning is complete, construction crews will begin the physical work of installing the new fiber network. This includes both aerial and underground placement of fiber lines to reach every building in the community.
You may see our crews and contractor, H&D Underground, working along streets, roadways, and ditches as they install the network infrastructure that will be ready for future generations.
3. Splicing
After construction, fiber lines are connected, via “splicing.” This links the main network with the individual lines serving each home or business. This careful process ensures every location has a strong, reliable connection to the new fiber network.
4. Get Connected
When the network is ready, we’ll contact you to schedule an appointment for your fiber cutover. A technician will visit your home or business to connect your equipment and activate your new fiber-optic service.
That’s when the excitement really begins. Get ready for faster streaming, smoother video calls, better work-from-home experiences, and a stronger community network built for the future.
