The time it takes is dependent on a number of variables, including the length of the circuit, terrain and soils, weather, and other external factors.
There are 7 stages we repeat for each zone that we open.
- Stage 1: Make Ready Engineering, 2 to 4 Week Process
- Stage 2: Make Ready Construction, 4 to 12 Week Process
- Stage 3: Fiber Construction, 4 to 8 Week Process
- Stage 4: Splicing, 3 to 6 Week Process
- Stage 5: Service Drop Construction
- Stage 6: Drop Splicing
- Stage 7: Home or Business Installation
Below is a handy infographic showing the fiber construction process.
