Plans and progress so far

Construction of the Fuquay-Varina fiber network began in June 2018 in Alston Ridge and construction in the rest of Phase 1 kicked off in July. In September, Ting announced it would be expanding into Phase 2 of construction, east of Phase 1, and in January, Phase 3 joined the map. This March, Ting also started working in Phase 4. Network progress has been steady and Ting has been able to leverage existing infrastructure in Holly Springs in order to roll out fiber efficiently to Fuquay-Varina.

Why is fiber Internet important?

Fiber is the great equalizer, bringing much needed Internet speed, reliability and bandwidth to US homes and businesses. Most American towns and cities rely on old copper networks which were built for phone and TV, not for the Internet. Fiber brings communities up to speed and allows residents and businesses to innovate and compete globally in industries like healthcare, technology, engineering, education and so much more.

Who’s getting fiber today?
