High-Speed Fiber Optic Network

Signing the internet application is a contractual agreement stating that you will be purchasing internet service from Starwire Technologies. It also grants Starwire permission to install a fiber optic cable through your property connecting your home, cabin, or business to our mainline.

This document is to indicate to our team where you have buried obstacles on your property. Any private obstacles will need to be marked and exposed, if necessary, by the homeowner.

Building a fiber network is a multi-step process. During construction, the fiber crew will work on installing mainline fiber, handholes, marking posts, and drops. As the weather cooperates, our crews will be out working to get this project completed as soon as possible. When the splicing is complete, we can proceed to install the internet into your location.

1. Submit a completed Internet Application and pay any applicable drop fee for construction (if applicable). This application is a contractual agreement stating that you will be purchasing internet service from Starwire Technologies. It also grants Starwire permission to install a fiber optic cable through your property connecting your home, cabin, or business to our mainline.
2. Starwire will mark the proposed route for the drop to your location from our mainline with white flags. You will need to fill out an Underground Release Form to indicate where you may have buried obstacles on your property. Any private lines are to be marked by the homeowner. We will then call Diggers Hotline to mark the public utilities.
3. After the drop construction and splicing is complete, we can proceed to install the internet into your location.
4. One of our team members will reach out to set up an installation date for our tech to come out and install internet service into your location.

The drop is a small fiber-optic cable that links your location to our fiber mainline. The drop gets installed after the mainline is installed. A member of the fiber crew will place white flags in the proposed fiber route. At that time they will leave an Underground Release form — use this document to indicate to our team where you have buried obstacles on your property. Any private obstacles will need to be marked and exposed, if necessary, by the homeowner. We will then run a small fiber optic cable from the nearest handhole, through your property, and install it into a fiber enclosure on the side of your building.

Starwire will install our mainline fiber optic cable, handholes, and marking posts in the legal road right-of-way. During the construction, we will make our best efforts to return disturbed areas to their original state. Our crew is small but mighty. Their work is often dependent on weather, ground conditions, and other unforeseen earthly tricks, but rest assured, we’ll be back for restoration to take place.

We install the internet by running an Ethernet cable from the outside fiber enclosure into your location. We then plug that Ethernet cable into a small power supply, and from the power supply an additional Ethernet cable is plugged into your network or wireless router. Once this is finished you are ready to enjoy your new fast, reliable internet service.

There are many small strands of glass fibers in our mainline and each fiber needs to be fused together in order for the internet service to become live.

That’s okay. If you choose not to sign up with internet service now, just give us a call when you are ready. We will get you on the schedule to build the drop to your location at that time. This may cause delays depending on ground conditions and weather.
