When are you coming to my area with fiber?

We wish we could be everywhere at once. Building fiber-optic lines takes time and a lot of manpower. We are trying to be down as many roads in southeast Kansas as we can. Just driving every road in southeast Kansas would take a large amount of time, let alone digging lines on all those roads. That process would take time, a lot of people working, and it would cause a mess that would mimic a natural disaster. We can only have so many contractors at a time, and we have them working as hard as they can. We do not want to tear apart a whole town in one week, and on top of that, if it rains, we can’t do any digging, so we need consistent, good weather to progress. To avoid a logistical mess, we work in sections of town, strategically, to get the most done in one area without having to move around. Another reason we may not be in your area is because you might be out of range of service. We are expanding into new territories often but building a main line of fiber down a road costs a ton, so if there is demand in a particular area for fiber-optic internet, we would love to expand into a neighborhood near you. Sometimes, if we want to move into a new town or larger section of a county, we might have to consult our Board of Directors for approval. Other issues we encounter that slow our expansion process is building fiber under bodies of water like river and lakes, under railroads, and other natural or man-made obstacles.
