Fibre optic lines are being installed within Town limits to improve connectivity and enhance network infrastructure. Ledcor Technical Services will be installing underground mainline conduits and coordinating with home and business owners to connect individual properties. Conduits will be placed within utility and public rights of way. See this letter from Fibre Connect for more details.

Residents may notice flags and spray paint marking service areas within Town limits—do not remove these flags or markings, as they are essential for the installation process.

Ledcor and Fibre Connect representatives will go door to door to provide additional information to home and business owners. During this time, owners will be asked for permission to bring the service installation to the side of their house or business. There will be no obligation to use these services once installed.

What is a Utility Right of Way?

A portion of your yard may be made up of a 'utility right of way.' This is an easement of private land that allows the Town and utility companies access to buried utilities.

Benefits of Fibre Optics

Installing fibre optics enables fast internet speeds, ensuring smooth streaming, seamless video calls, and quick downloads. They offer a reliable connection, even during peak usage time or bad weather. For businesses, fibre optics improve efficiency through faster uploads and seamless video conferencing. They also increase property value and support remote work and learning, making them a valuable addition for modern living and working.

Background

In 2024, Fibre Connect and its contractor Ledcor Technical Services, with the support of Town Council, began surveying and marking areas to determine all Fibre Serving Areas (FSAs) within town limits. These areas were mapped and presented to Council in November 2024. Fibre Connect aims to connect approximately 5,000 residences and businesses in High River.
