Compared to other more prominent providers, Surf is not cherry-picking different parts of the city to provide fiber.
"The project as a whole is really exciting for the city, getting fiber to essentially every home,” said Tim Shipman, building official of Dixon. “We are looking forward to this project ramping up and continuing. The internet needs are continuously growing, having the service speeds that Surf Internet can provide to every resident in town is amazing for our community."
Bridging the underserved
Over in Indiana, Surf Internet began construction in four strategically-located communities located between Warsaw and Columbia City, Indiana. Earlier this month, the towns of Larwill, North Webster, Pierceton and South Whitley held groundbreaking ceremonies to celebrate the milestone.
Surf is investing over $3.5 million across these four areas to build over 2,500 passings by the end of 2023 and into next Spring, with additional passings planned in the coming year.
While these communities are situated near more prominent communities, broadband choices have been traditionally lacking.
