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.  Once the snow is too deep, the ground is frozen, or once all the mainline is in and all drops are installed, our crew will turn its focus to Splicing the fiber together.  When the splicing is complete, we can proceed to install the internet into your location.

1. Submit a completed Internet Application and $50 deposit fee.  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. This document is used to indicate to our team 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. Once the snow is too deep, the ground is frozen, or once all the mainline is in and all drops are installed, our crew will turn its focus to Splicing the fiber together.   When the 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 with you for our tech to come out to 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 according to your received Drop Agreement.   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 (drop), from the nearest handhole, through your property, and install it into a fiber enclosure on the side of your building.
