We are proud to partner with Delaware County to bring our reliable, high-speed internet to underserved and unserved neighborhoods in our communities! Please read the full story from Delaware County on their website: Broadband Expansion Announcement.
High-speed internet has become an essential service, especially as more people have begun working and learning from home. We started Consolidated Fiber to help connect our members to the future, and we are excited to partner with Delaware to extend that connection.
How will I know if service is available to me?
We have begun the construction process, and plan to begin opening service to impacted areas this spring. We will notify households with door hangers and mailers when we are building and when service becomes available. You can check fiber service availability any time by typing your address into our map, found here.
FAQs for Consolidated Members
Is this project going to cost Consolidated members?
No. Delaware County received federal funding to bring internet service to underserved and unserved communities. They are using a portion of that funding to hire us to bring our fiber-to-the-home internet to specific areas in the county.
Why is Consolidated providing fiber service outside of its service territory?
In addition to helping the underserved and unserved in our surrounding communities by giving them access to reliable, high-speed internet, this project stands to create long-term benefits for both our members and communities:
- More of Delaware County will have access to excellent internet, helping neighborhoods thrive, empowering families to move to more rural areas without sacrificing their ability to connect, and supporting the continued development of the local economy.
- As your local cooperative, we are not driven by profits. Our rates reflect the costs we pay to provide you with reliable, high-speed internet service. Bringing more subscribers to our fiber network means that the costs of building and maintaining our network will be split among more people, helping us keep our rates down.
Will this project impact Consolidated’s current fiber construction plans for within Consolidated service territory?
No. Our partnership with the county enables us to bring on additional contracted crews who will complete the extension work. Construction within our territory is still moving forward as planned.
