When will you start installing services?
All homes that are identified as will be ready for installation during Summer of 2021 based on the order they were received. However we anticipate installations will start as early as May as we finish portions of our network for those who already placed orders in advance.
Does the service work if we lose power?
Our network head-end office is backed-up by redundant battery backup power plant and power generator. Fiber delivered services do not require additional equipment outside of the network office, so as long as you can provide power to the ONT (aka modem) at your home your service will be working. We suggest a battery backup unit (aka UPS) for those times you may happen to lose power. ONT unit requires very little power.
Where will broadband service available?
What will be the speed for Fibercast broadband?
1000 Mbps (aka Gigabit Internet) is the speed of FiberCast Broadband Service.
Our goal is to keep it as simple as possible.
What are the Installation costs?
- Standard Fiber Installation $100
Standard installation cover upto 125 feet distance from the mainline fiber pole to home. - Extended Installation $55 per additional 100ft over the Standard Install.
Extended installation cover upto 325 feet distance from the mainline pole to the home.
We deliver the fiber optic cable where home’s other utility services are delivered and terminate at our outdoor home fiber enclosure. We then connect a jumper fiber cable from the outside box into the house; in the same area where the electric panel is installed in order to terminate into our Optical Network Terminator (ONT aka modem). We will need a power outlet in order to power the modem.
We will need to connect the ONT to home’s Ethernet network for those homes already Internet ready. We can offer inside wiring at hourly rates or offer WiFi access point/s.
Please bear in mind that the fiber optic delivered broadband services are much faster than what you may have had before, and if you have older Ethernet switches, routers, or even computers, they may not be able to take full advantage of the speeds we will be delivering. For example, a 2.4Ghz WiFi access unit may be able to achieve upto 70 mbps when used by a single computer, but a 5Ghz WiFi-6 unit can provide about 500 mbps (only in the same room as the WiFi unit), and if you like to achieve Gigabit speeds you will need to hard wire some computers with CAT6 Ethernet cabling.

What Our Customers Say
The laptop on the left is about 8 years old the one on the right is only 4 months old. This is over WiFi 6 about three feet away from the WiFi (Orbi) unit.

Had to reconfigure my old Mac to get it above 90mbps. This is with a pretty substantial WAH setup running.
Even when I get throttled down to 25mbps it’ll still be night & day compared to the 4-7mbps consolidateds bonded pair gave me.
