We evaluate the lay of the land – roads, underground utility paths, and even permitting capabilities, to develop a plan to bring VNET Fiber to townships and municipalities where the demand for more bandwidth is highest. A lot of times our business customers can help bring fiber to areas where the distance might have been cost prohibitive in rural areas.

Since fiber is a utility, our implementation has to play nice with existing utilities such as those on utility poles as well as underground such as gas, water and electric, in order to get it to you. With over 400 miles of VNET Fiber already designed and constructed in Erie County, we’ve gotten pretty good at it!

Once we finish the design of the network, we announce the neighborhood to the public and start the signup process. Our website will show what percentage of the neighborhood needs to signup in order for us to move to the next step: Construction. Don’t worry about missing out. We’ll be going door to door letting everyone know that VNET Fiber is available. We will even provide you with handouts, a letter, and yard signs for anyone who wants to be a VNET Champion! (Let us know if you’re interested via our contact form and we’ll notify you when we are ready to kick off the program.)

It’s off to work we go. From high up the utility poles to drilling underground to keep things looking neat, getting fiber in your neighborhood is a big team effort. We use directional drills and other low impact means to run miles of fiber to minimize lawn damage and utility interruptions. We are there for the install and we’re there at the end to make sure things look like we were never there.

Once the fiber has been run to the home, a technician will install the equipment in the house and you can start enjoying fiber optic services like you’ve never seen!
