Construction! What to Expect with Our Investment!

What to expect

Northern Lights Fiber is excited to bring you fiber optic internet, with speeds up to 1,000 Mbps (1Gigabit). Because this is on brand new fiber infrastructure, that’s up to 1,000Mbps of symmetrical service (upload AND download).

And if you think 1,000Mbps is fast, we are only getting started!

To prepare your community for the future, new infrastructure will be required and we will burry this infrastructure.

Main-Line

The first part of our construction is called “middle-mile” or “main-line” construction. You will see large equipment of ours, including “hydrovacs”, directional drills, dump trucks, front end loaders, skid steers, and even vibratory plows. Our design in Wembley dictates that we will be digging in public easement, and most of our design, in the area, will be in back lanes.

There are some places that this is not possible. Only in a few places, our design determines that we will use front lot easement. This means we will have to dig along the curb of your front yard. 

The Drop

If you sign up for services during this process, we will also need to burry new infrastructure to your house. We call this “the drop.” We will also install a small box on the side of your house.

Having fiber infrastructure will future proof your home for generations to come. And While cities already have this infrastructure, it is very rare for rural communities in Canada.

This will not only be good for your household and local businesses in Wembley, but real estate studies strongly suggest the increase of property value when having this infrastructure to your rural home. 

Can I get fiber to my house, even if I don’t want internet?

Yes! We want to future proof your community, and that includes building to as many houses as possible. You can sign an access agreement HERE, and pay a small fee to future proof your house (and very likely increase the property value)!

What about my property?

This is a big private investment to futureproof the Town of Wembley.  It does require heavy duty construction. We will try to be as respectful as possible to everyone’s property and we will restore all landscaping to the best of our ability, properly backfilling, and replanting grass.

We have invested in specialized machinery to get this job done fast and as discreet as possible, especially when we leave public easement to get to your house. If you have any questions about our proposed route, please call us at 1-888-CFO-2947 (ext 1) or email at info@CanadianFiberOptics.ca

All services such as electric, water, and other utilities are professionally located to prevent damage. If you are aware of any private underground utilities (like underground sprinklers), please let us know!

How long will it take?

Main-line construction in Wembley will take most of the year however we should only be on each street for about a week at a time. Burying the drop to each house will only take about half a day.

What if I have questions?
