Exciting news!! Construction on the Fidium (CCI) Marlow fiber optic upgrade will be starting in October! Once that process begins we will get regular progress updates. In the map provided below you can see that there are three areas in different colors, with yellow being built first, purple being next, and finally the light blue. Some work can be done simultaneously, so Fidium (CCI) won't have to wait for all of yellow to be complete before they begin purple. Also keep in mind that for each area there are three phases: Fiber Install, Splicing, and Testing. So just because the trucks leave your area and you see fiber cables on the poles, understand there's still a lot more work to do.

Once construction starts we will have regular meetings with Fidium (CCI) where they update us on their progress and we can see how far they are in each phase in each area. HOWEVER you can sign up for service now and as soon as your address is ready for install, Fidium (CCI) will contact you and schedule an appointment. Remember there is no installation fee, and no commitment, so you can sign up and then change your mind later. Here is the dedicated Marlow sign up page.

Fidium (CCI)is currently projecting that they will begin to connect subscribers (actual installation of high speed internet) in approximately 20-25 weeks after construction begins. So with a start date of the end of early October, this means that we'll start seeing high speed service by mid-late February. PLEASE NOTE this is approximate. Fidium (CCI) has done a lot of work to mitigate any risk (such as stockpiling 1,000,000 feet of fiber optic cable) but like any construction project, there are variables, weather, labor shortages etc. They could get done early or there could be delays. We will keep you updated!!
