2024 MEC Internet Construction Update

We are excited to announce our fiber construction plans for 2024.

The zones listed below are areas we plan on starting construction this year, with timelines of when we expect construction to begin and home installations to be started. 

Not sure what zone you are in? Click here to view our construction map. Hover over the map to see the zone name and construction timeline. 

FYI: Like with all construction projects, dates are subject to change. We send updates every month to keep you informed on progress. Once construction is complete in an area, it can take 6-12 weeks for installation depending on our current installation schedule. 

Currently we are wrapping up construction in the following zones: Arlington, Geneva, Manchester, and Newton.

Have you paid your connection fee yet? Once you sign up for service, we ask that you pay a one-time $100 connection fee. This one-time fee represents your small stake in the construction process, and we cannot build to your property until it's paid. Please watch your email for requests for any missing registration information or request for payment.
