What is it?
Unlike slower copper wiring, fiber networks use beams of light to transmit data at ridiculous speeds. That means you get all your Internet, TV, phone and security needs delivered faster than ever.
Why is it important?
You get to explore and discover anything your heart desires — without worry of lagging speeds or service limitations ever again. Businesses grow. Communities thrive. Students learn. Economies improve. All from a single fiber network.
What if I don’t want it?
While we’re bummed, we understand. Please know though that once Norvado has upgraded your area to fiber, your existing drop will no longer work and current Internet, TV and/or phone service(s) will be terminated. Knowing this, if you still don’t want a FREE fiber drop, simply fill out this form and we’ll remove you from our correspondence and construction lists. Should you change your mind in the future, charges will apply to place a fiber line at that time.
Benefits of Fiber
The benefits of Norvado fiber are endless, but these are some of our favorites!
Free Connection
Bringing the fiber line to your premise and connecting to the network is free. Even if you don’t activate its service. We recommend installing now to avoid fees later.
Increased Home Value
Residences with fiber Internet see a 3.1% increase in home value. Plus, buyers will pay 2% more for a fiber-connected home especially in the era of working and learning from home.
More secure network
Unlike copper networks, a fiber line avoids electromagnetic interference and can transport information faster — making the data you send and receive more secure.
Life, uninterrupted
Fiber delivers Internet speeds of up to 2 Gbps. That means improved data transfers, unlimited networking capabilities, clearer phone calls, and TV features like HD and DVR.
Building the Network
Building the fastest fiber network in the Northwoods takes time and a lot of work. For us, not you.
Here’s what it takes to get you connected to fiber:
Each fiber build project will follow this connection process, but will be completed in multiple phases, allowing us to activate subscribers on fiber as efficiently as possible.
The Schedule
Our crews are working hard to connect you to the fiber as quickly as possible. Here is when we tentatively plan to have the build done in your area:
Build Area |
Conversion Time Frame |
Lower Eau Claire 2022 | June – August 2022 |
Phillips 2022 | July 2022 – May 2023 |
Park Falls 2022 | August – October 2022 |
Lenroot 2022 | September – December 2022 |
Dates are subject to change.
Get Connected
To take advantage of this great opportunity, simply complete the Site Survey below.
Before you get started, here are some things to keep in mind:
- Note possible obstructions around the premise such as trees, decks, landscaping, buried gas lines, septic systems, underground electric cables, drain tiles, waterlines, etc.
- Keep in mind, a Network Interface Device (NID) will be installed on the building’s exterior (3′-5′ above ground level), which acts as the connection point between buried facilities and premise wiring, similar to your electric meter box. Therefore, your proposed bury route needs to connect to a point on the exterior where the NID can be affixed properly and is on a wall that can be penetrated to run a wire from the NID to the ONT (typically installed in the basement or utility room).
- The NID cannot be located on decks or areas above concrete sidewalks where there is not green space directly below it.
