Fiber to the Home
Work is progressing very nicely on the fiber network. Initially when the construction started the contractors were confident they would have the project completed by the end of 2014, city staff was a little skeptical of that target and communicated a message to the community of May or June of 2015. As it stands now it looks like the more conservative estimate will be pretty accurate. The table below provides a snapshot of completion on the various phases of the project as of 11/14/2014.
| Project Category | % Complete |
| Conduit Installation | 99% |
| Cable Placement | 91% |
| Splicing | 45% |
| Drop Installation | 48% |
| Service Activation | 20% |
Video Service
We will be meeting with representatives from CSI Digital at the end of the month to discuss the timeline of their video service launch. In our most recent communication with them they are now anticipating a May or June timeframe for service availability.
We have also reached out to Sling TV, a new service offering from Dish Network that is targeted at “cord-cutters”. This service includes small bundle of live TV channels including ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, TBS, Food Network, HGTV, Travel, CNN, ABC Family, and more. They are planning on launching service this month, it may prove to be a great fit for many of our users.
