When Will I Get High-Speed Internet?
Valley Electric Association is as excited as you are by the opportunities that lie ahead with the construction of a world-class fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network to serve our community. The cooperative, through its subsidiary Valley Communications Association, is working as quickly as possible to establish the fiber network and deliver high-speed internet to our service territory. We anticipate fiber service to reach our members by the end of 2025. This milestone accomplishment will once again revolutionize life for cooperative members, just as the introduction of electricity did in 1965.
Why Does It Take So Long?
The magnitude of establishing the world-class fiber network required to deliver some of the fastest and most robust internet in the nation is similar in scope to when we first brought electricity to rural communities in the 1960s. Ensuring reliable, symmetrical gigabit-speed service is no small endeavor, but one we are committed to advancing within a 3-year timeline to reach our membership. The global pandemic has made it more apparent than ever that our cooperative members need lightning-fast broadband internet service—and they need it now. We are working hard to deliver as quickly as possible.
