Retire the "Settling for Less" Mindset
For too long, organizations have been putting up with internet connections that barely suffice. But in today's digital-first world, connectivity isn't a luxury; it's the foundation of your strategy. In our latest blog post, we dive into future-proof connectivity...

FIBER FRIDAY
Over time, the zip ties that secure aerial fiber loops can wear down. When that happens, slack loops may sag into sidewalks or roadways—creating a safety risk for pedestrians, vehicles, and the fiber itself.
Our team is constantly out in the field spotting these issues early and coordinating repairs before they become a problem. It’s one of the many behind-the-scenes ways we keep the network safe, reliable, and ready to perform. 🧰🌐

Our mission is simple: build fiber infrastructure that serves the whole community.
That means every connection goes beyond business—supporting schools, public safety, town operations, libraries, health providers, and organizations that keep our region moving.
We’ve seen the impact across the Cape, SE MA, and #RI—supporting anchor institutions, Main Street businesses, and essential services.
And we’re still building.
@gary_alderson IMHO I want mandatory #fiber availability by law.

Phew, We Actually Moved! 🎉
After days of boxes, labels, and that one mysterious piece of furniture that no one remembers what it belongs to, we can finally say it: we’ve moved! And yes, mostly without casualties (except for a few missing screws). The most nerve-wracking moment? Without a doubt, moving the piano. It got more attention than any other piece of furniture — and rightfully so. With a mix of brute strength, precision, and a few prayers to the gods of gravity, it’s now proudly standing in the living […]🎉🌐 It’s #GimmeFiberDay!

@cryptadamist @brian_greenberg granted, we're talking about #OrganizedCrime and setting up the financials is way cheaper than getting essentially #FiberInternet into a #warzone which they certainly need just because even a small #ScamCallcenter with like 100 "employees" will easily saturate a single Gigabit connection...
Mind you that Civil War sees #FGC9 in frontline use!
State announces trimmed-down fiber internet expansion
As of June of this year, Louisiana was one of three states that had already awarded grants for deployment of BEAD, the federal government’s broadband internet deployment program.
Known in the state as GUMBO 2.0, the federal grants were the state’s second wave of fiber internet deployment, set to connect the parts of the state missed by the first round of GUMBO program funding.
However, after months of waiting, the federal government declared all states had to re-award the programs, starting a new 60-day consideration process, in which the state would consider cheaper satellite offers along with fiber cables, including from Starlink, a division of Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
Published:June 169:52 am Trump admin halts fiber internet expansion in LouisianaLouisiana was the first state in the nation to have its plans for fiber expansion approved by the feds as part of a Biden era grant program. Now, that approval has been revoked by Trump’s secretary of commerce.
Now that the process is nearly wrapped, the new program is looking to spend nearly $500 million on internet deployment, which is $250 million less than the previous iteration, with more than $7.5 million now awarded to SpaceX.
While the original GUMBO 2.0 was set to cover 140,000 locations, including many of the state’s most remote areas, the newly drafted proposal is set to cover 13,000 fewer locations, with others still to receive coverage, but from less reliable satellite internet.
The majority of the new internet deployments now mapped at Connect LA are scheduled for completion by 2030 and over three-fourths were awarded to providers headquartered within the state.
Türkiye'deki fiber internet abone sayısı 8,3 milyona ulaştı: AA muhabirinin, Bilgi Teknolojileri ve İletişim Kurumunun (BTK) "Türkiye Elektronik Haberleşme Sektörü Üç Aylık Pazar Verileri Raporu'ndan" derlediği bilgilere göre, ülkede internet kullanımı yaygınlaşıyor.

Grrrrr... #Starlink tries to block #Virginia’s plan to bring #FiberInternet to residents
#SpaceX wants more money, asks Trump admin to reject state's #broadband grant plan.
Jon Brodkin – Aug 14, 2025
"Starlink operator SpaceX is fighting Virginia's plan to deploy fiber Internet service to residents, claiming that federal grant money should be given to Starlink instead. SpaceX is already in line to win over $3 million in grant money in the state but is seeking $60 million.
"Starlink is poised to benefit from the Trump administration rewriting rules for the $42 billion #Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (#BEAD) grant program. While the Biden administration decided that states should prioritize #fiber in order to build more #FutureProof networks, the Trump administration ordered states to revise their plans with a 'tech-neutral approach' and lower the average cost of serving each location."

Two guys hated Comcast so much they said "fine, we'll build our own ISP" 🛠️
Prime-One now serves 1,500 Michigan homes with underground fiber, offering symmetrical gigabit for $80/month (vs Comcast's $120 for slower uploads). Nothing says "customer feedback" quite like becoming the competition! 📡
Two guys hated using Comcast, so they built their own fiber ISP
