Here’s What the Speed of Light Really Means
Today’s families are already operating at light speed — operating multiple data-gobbling devices at once while keeping up hectic lifestyles. Add to that our increased work and school from home landscape and you have an equation that = Need for More Speed.
To help address that need, FiberMeFast is launching a Fiber expansion project designed to connect homes and businesses to our gigabit Fiber Optic infrastructure. This project, conducted over phases, will deliver the speeds you need while supporting economic development. While we could dive into explaining the science of fiber optics and the advantages it brings, here’s what you really need to know.
It’s DEDICATED…There was a day when we shared our phone line with the other families in our neighborhood. But did you know you are still using the party-line type technology today if you have cable Internet? With cable, you and your neighbors share the connection to the Internet. That’s why everything slows to a crawl in the evening after everyone gets home from work and school.
Dedicated is better. FiberMeFast brings 100% fiber-optic service all the way to your premises. No sharing…no slowdowns…no kidding!

Fiber FAQ
- First, we need to construct our 100% all-fiber network to every home within the proposed fiber build area.
- Throughout the construction phases, you will see our crews locating underground utilities by marking yards and placing flags.
- Following that and pending weather, crews will begin the main fiber construction. Please note the construction phase is temporary, and we will do our best to minimize impact and restore unearthed areas.
- To maintain the integrity of our fiber we place it within protective conduit. This conduit is trenched to your address via a small splice that is barely visible. Before that process you will receive a door hanger with contact information for communicating any underground facilities such as sprinkler systems, dog fence, pump lines, driveway heating systems or other buried services.
- Fiber is unlimited which means no overage fees
- Fiber is dedicated, which means you aren’t sharing your speed with your neighbor
- Fiber is symmetrical, which means you get the same upload speed as download
- Fiber is FAST, you can run multiple devices at once, watch separate HD movies at the same time, online shop to your hearts content, master the game without lag time plus more!
- Hand Hole
Hand holes are boxes in the ground where our teams can store and gain access to the fiber that will eventually be used to connect to your home. These boxes are placed between groups of homes along the roadway. They are flush to the ground, so you’ll be able to mow over them. These will be placed within the right of way section of your property during the first part of construction. - Splice with conduit to the side of your home
A fiber duct from that hand hole to your home will be spliced. To protect your fiber, we place it within protective conduit and bury it far enough underground to protect it from any yardwork disruption. The equipment we use to place this conduit makes a small ‘slice’ in your yard that causes little above ground disruption. - Splice Case
Our installation crew will determine the best place outside of your home for your new fiber to enter. This is typically in the same location as other utilities. - Fiber inside your home
During the installation our crews will bring the fiber inside of your home, in most cases this fiber will be hidden from sight. - GigaCenter, wireless modem combo
To harness the power of the fiber optics you will receive use of a GigaCenter. The GigaCenter will be placed in an optimal location determined by you and the technician and serves as a modem and wireless router.
