Timeline
Design
Engineers decide the most efficient way to bring fiber optics to the greatest amount of people in your area.
City Approval
Contractors, city officials, and United Fiber collaborate on the fiber path design and submit to the city for approval. Once the fiber path is approved, United Fiber partners with local contractors to begin the construction process.
Construction
During the Construction process, all existing utilities are required to mark their underground facilities to prevent damage. Contractors and utility employees arrive in your neighborhood to mark the locations of existing lines in preparation for local construction.
Fiber Optic Route
Fiber optic cable is buried along the approved route. Fiber optic splicing is completed and the new plant is tested. As soon as testing is verified, installs can begin.
Engineering/Drop Install
After the release date, customers will be contacted for an engineering appointment. The engineering appointment/drop install consists of connecting the mainline fiber from the road to a small box placed on the outside of your home. The time from the engineering appointment to the home install is typically 8-10 days.
Home Install
Our local technicians will arrive on the date of your install and place a fiber line from the box on the outside of your home to our United Wifi Blast router inside your home.
