When to expect fiber internet in Grover Hill area
Construction began in Grover Hill in mid September and lines continue to be installed underground along existing utility rights-of-way.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our contractor, ITG Communications, is working in the public right-of-way to install our new fiber main line network. This work may be done either underground or overhead and, at times, can cause temporary disturbances such as vehicle tracks, uneven ground, or small holes in your yard. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. If this happens, a member of our team will return in the coming days to evaluate and restore the area.
If you have questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 800-686-2357. Thank you for
your patience and understanding as we complete this important project to bring you reliable,
high-speed service.
