Construction
What to Expect During the Fiber Construction Process.
Tipmont is building our fiber internet service to the entire Tipmont service area. Construction is typically about a six-month process from start to finish. The information below will help you understand the various phases of fiber construction.
Phases of fiber construction
Construction Steps
- Construction Preparation
Our engineering department is drafting plans and scheduling the resources needed to begin construction. You may see crews walking through your neighborhood, taking photos, and gathering measurements.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Register your address to express interest.
- Mainline Fiber Construction
During this stage, we are building the main fiber network to your area. This step takes a fair amount of time because it involves placing fiber cables in the ground and/or on utility poles. In most cases, the fiber path is along public rights of way on poles, or existing easements on private properties. If there is any disruption to your property, we will repair it. Please don’t remove any utility flags on or near your property.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Please have patience during the construction process. Our crews are responsible for maintaining a safe and clean work environment. If there is any disruption to your property, we will repair it. Don’t remove any utility flags on or near your property.
- Watch for a Notice that Service is Available
Please note that steps 4-7 typically take about 10-12 weeks to complete.
- Initial Site Visit
Once service is available, one of our engineers will consult with you about the plan to bring the fiber network from your property line to the outside of your home or business. We will call to schedule this visit, which will take approximately 30 minutes.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: When the appointment arrives, someone 18 years or older must be present. If you need to reschedule, please give us at least 48 hours’ notice.
- Drop Construction
This step includes running fiber cable from the road to a junction box that will be placed on the outside of your home. All of the work will be based on what was decided during the initial site visit. Note: The fiber cable will follow the same path as your electric service. If you currently have underground electric service, your fiber optic cable will be buried in the same location. If your electric service is overhead, the fiber optic cable will run overhead, adjacent to the electric wire.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: You do not need to be present for this work to take place. We will leave a door hanger to let you know the work has been completed.
- Fiber Installation Inside Your Home
This is the moment you have been waiting for! We will bring the fiber from the outside of your home to the inside, install the fiber gateway, and verify that the WiFi signal is working throughout your home. The technician installing your service will also demonstrate how to best use your subscribed services. We will call you to schedule this visit, which may take up to four hours.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: When the appointment arrives, someone 18 years or older must be present. If you need to reschedule, please give us at least 48 hours’ notice.
