Project Update
2023 Border-to-Border Grant Build Area
BIG NEWS… Red River Communications is bringing FiberFAST high-speed internet to rural Wilkin County. This past December, we received a Border-To-Border Grant to bring fiber internet to the heart of Wilkin County, MN. Because of this grant — just like when rural water comes to a community — we need to secure all requests for service before we start pre-wiring and construction. If you wait until you see construction crews, it is too late.
If you fail to sign up now, Red River Communications may not be able to honor future requests for service without additional construction and installation costs.
Planning
In Progress – Winter 2023
Engineering for the project is completed. Residents are given the option to sign up for service.
Prewiring
Beginning – Early Spring 2023
Technicians get homes ready for fiber. Those signed up will have an appointment scheduled for prewiring.
Construction
Beginning August 2023
Fiber will be installed throughout the area. Service drops will be extended to those who signed up.
Connection
November 2023
An installation technician will visit your home to finish connecting you to fiber.
Service will be ready to use!

Frequently Asked Questions
How will this affect existing Ag Wireless customers in rural Wilkin?
If you already have our Ag Wireless service, you will be among the first to be connected to fiber. Once the fiber construction is completed, Ag Wireless will no longer be offered in rural Wilkin.
Please fill out a full application for service so we know what internet package you prefer. We are waiving the $50 fee for all AgWireless customers.
What is Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH)?
Fiber to the home (FTTH), also called fiber to the premises (FTTP), is the installation and use of optical fiber from a central point directly to individual buildings, such as residences and businesses, to provide high-speed internet access. FTTH dramatically increases connection speeds available to computer users compared with technologies now used in most places.

Red River Communications expects to start a fiber-to-the-premise project in August of 2023. This high-speed option rivals many large cities, enabling residents unparalleled ability to work, learn, and play online at speeds exceeding many gigabits per second.
