Let's Bring Fiber Home
WiredWest came together back in 2009 as an informal grassroots group to explore bringing high speed internet to our small rural towns. In the six short years since then, the role of the internet in modern life has rapidly expanded. What most people thought of as an amenity in 2009 has become—with astonishing speed—a necessity. Today, fast, reliable, affordable internet connectivity is very important in rural towns like ours: for education and healthcare, to stabilize the value of our homes and property, to maintain our tax base, to create and maintain jobs, and to ensure a sustainable future for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.
To date, 40% of the households in New Marlborough have signed up for service with WiredWest. These residents have decided the regional co-operative network is the right choice to bring fiber optic cable to our town.
Great as this is, the higher the participation level, the more secure is the investment. So if you haven't signed up already, now is the time to do it. And to ask your friends and neighbors to sign up too.
