Current Project Phase: North Hawley

Project Update: May 30th, 2025
Happy Summer from your (soon-to-be) friendly neighborhood fiber providers! We’re enjoying the nice weather and gearing up for construction season.
Project Start Date: For the fiber build project in your area, North Hawley, Minnesota, we had to adjust our original planned start date of June 15th slightly, and it is now set to begin in mid-July. This change is due to some delays in the permitting and environmental review process through the State of Minnesota. These permits are a required part of the Border-to-Border Grant we received to help partially fund this fiber build project.
However, fear not; as soon as we have the permits in hand, we will be ready to proceed, and you will see our crews begin work in your area.
In the meantime, we wanted to let you know about a new program we launched! Fiber Friends, our refer-a-friend program, is designed to help your friends, neighbors, and family members enjoy the same exceptional fiber-optic services you are signed up for. A bonus beyond the excellent fiber services is you can each earn a $100 bill credit. How sweet is that!
If you have the name of someone who isn’t already on our construction list, please send it in! Learn more about the details of our new Fiber Friends Program here!

Learn the differences between 5G Cellular Service and Fiber Internet.
Wayne has been making the rounds in North Hawley and has met some fantastic folks! Thank you to all who opened your doors (and your minds) to the future of fiber internet.
If you are a 5G Home Internet user or are using a Hot Spot through your cellular device, we created a short video to help explain the differences between the two technologies and services. When you compare the two, the best option is crystal clear. Fiber internet is the most reliable, affordable, and backed by your LOCAL neighborhood internet service provider – us!
Check out the video and learn more here!
