Determining Where We Build

Greenlight Networks fiber network involves significant design, planning, and construction work to lay hundreds of miles of new fiber-optic cable. Where and when we build is based on a number of factors including customer demand, cost and complexity of building the district, and the number of easements and permits required.

Greenlightโ€™s fiber network involves significant design, planning and construction work to lay hundreds of miles of new fiber-optic cable.โ€ฏWhere we build and when is based on a number of factors including customer demand, cost and complexity of building the district, the number of easements and permits required, among other factors.

A Greenlight district is a grouping ofโ€ฏhouses, apartmentsโ€ฏandโ€ฏbusinessesโ€ฏselected by the Greenlight Networks team with shared or adjacent geographical and infrastructural boundaries, neighborhood association boundaries and utility pole pathways among other things. Greenlight districts represent our approach to organizing and managing the expansion and construction of network infrastructure essential for connecting homes to our fiber-optic internet.

This depends on whether your address is in an area that is already serviceable or under construction. If your address is in a serviceable district, once we have received your order we will send your information to our construction team. They will run a line of fiber directly to your house in preparation for your service. This can take 4-6 weeks. Once we hear from them that your home is โ€œfiber readyโ€ we will email you to schedule your installation.โ€ฏ

If your address is in a district where construction is active, we are waiting for the infrastructure of your area to be built. How long that takes depends on how quickly depends on the type of construction it is (aerial vs. underground). Once you have placed your order, you will receive a follow up email confirming your order. When construction is completed in your neighborhood you will be notified via email to schedule your installation!
